hi there Lady. I guess most everyone get cold feet at school reunions. Impressions of what we thought we were in the minds of others...gathering dust in our minds' eye until the proclamation of the reunion hit the mail box (electronic or snail in repose is still mail). Past indiscretions are now feared to be aired like the old laundry we tugged under the bed to plug the cave the Monsters used to crave our space with...folks we had hearts or hard-ons for are now back in our face... Use the risk as opportunity. Are you comfortable with who you are, now? Perform that way. Be calm, be composed...imagine everyone there at a big Ball where it will all disappear at midnite, and you on your pumpkin back home to Horance and the 10 kids....or Gallahad and the white Steed and the Bentley... Be sure to look at each and every Haunt - eye to eye. Enjoy the experience for what it is --- fleeting. You've agreed to attend the Ball in the same fashion you've agreed to Attend life...at a pace to your liking, according to your preference and limitations. None can take from you that which is not yours to give. If you like TV - then enjoy the presentations of those least likely to have received nominations to Life...and be gracious to everyone, regardless of station. We carry our illusion of grandeur like a shroud of thorns, so don't be so prickly and you might be surprised how grandly you are received misty-eyed alligator tears - yeowza |
