Pink was not my signature color tonight

This morning when I walked Gert the Big Dipper was smack dab in front of me. I was so happy to see it because I recently realized I hadn't seen it in a while. When I couldn't remember exactly where it was I got aggravated with myself. This morning when it appeared before my eye - no searching, no aggravation, no stress - ah the relief. I saw one of my favorite things in the world and gave myself a break all at the same time. WHO AM I?

Who am I, good question. According to my mom I am mayhem. This evening while on the phone with her while walking my dog I noticed a certain gentleman noticing me as he attempted a uturn to park at the curb. His bumper ended up over the 1 ft curb and there was a very apparent large scrape. All this while on the phone with my mom. His windows were down and his face was super red so I waited due to my oh so quiet voice until I was a solid block away before I told my mom what just happened. Without skipping a beat she said "you're mayhem, hahahahaha you are mayhem!". She then paused from our phone conversation and shared this happenstance with my step father. All the while I kept saying "mom i'm not wearing pink nor am I jogging". Good laughs all around.

In the strangest sense of the possible, I find myself to be slightly annoyed with the facts at hand yet I am taking great satisfaction in them and I feel quite sated. Definitely not annoyed, but ponder some. Not really questioning myself, questioning the universe a little, and finding solace in feeling so grounded and not scared. Less fearful, way more hopeful. Proud of myself and committed to taking chances with the unknown.
