Well, now I'm going to blush along with my smile. :)
Thank you. I really do appreciate it.
I wish I could find a way to be "Dinah" in real life. I wonder if it's the asynchronous nature of the internet that gives me time to reflect before I speak. Or if I just am nervous around people and freeze up.
I didn't have time to post this morning before therapy, but I did look up Susan Boyle on the internet. It definitely caused a reaction in me. I think my favorite quote from the comments was:
"We are shallow to expect nothing special from an ordinary middle-aged
woman...but then she sings and she has the most beautiful voice and all of a
sudden she's SOMEONE special and we're ashamed because we pre-judged
her as a NOBODY. BUT that still makes us shallow - worse than shallow -
because WHAT IF SHE COULDN'T SING...?"I guess that's how I feel. Like I open my mouth, and have a pleasant enough voice, but nothing special, and everyone thinks the cover represents the book, and I'm not worth much at all. My therapist tells me that I am special when I open my mouth, and I suppose I am humbled by the fact that many of you echo that thought.
My therapist brought her up today too, so I'm glad I had a chance to watch the video.
Thank you.
