I wrote this a week ago but was unable to post as I was barely out of bed all week…
When is the last time you felt positively giddy?
I asked this question
on my fb page today
I was standing
in the shower
this morning
laughing
at myself…
I’ve been happy
over the last year
but rarely giddy
I was happy to spend
a lot of time
with my dad
over the last year
of his life
I was happy once
the celebration
of his life was over
cos it meant
I could pigeon hole
the pain/grief
and try to move on
I was happy to meet
with my tribe in Georgia
a couple weeks later
I was happy to have
a new job
in the same office
to avoid
some of the stress
of starting over
I was happy
that my mother went into
a good home
and that now she’s moved
back to my brother’s
I was happy
that Ro and Twitchy
were finally able to get married
I was happy
that Scooter and Pam
did too
but seriously
giddy
happy?
not for a long time
not until a week ago that is
I went up island
to visit
and was sick while
I was there
I came home on Remembrance Day
didn’t relish the drive
cos I’d had the pukes
for a couple of days
as often happens
intuition and I
had an argument in Chemainus
and intuition won
I’d been puking
on and off
for a couple of days
but I’ve learned over time
that intuition
is usually right….
I stopped
at the Antique Barn
I wandered through slowly
I’ve mentioned before
that I’ve been collecting
pieces of Belle Fiore china
since I moved to BC
20 years ago.
I hit pay dirt
I found this…
on the third floor
I was so excited
so absolutely giddy
that I squealed
like a child
loudly
which brought one of the
owners of the Barn
racing to me thinking
I’d possibly seen
a rodent
but no
I was holding the plates
and jumping up and down
what a find
I danced down the stairs
from the 3rd floor
while the owner carried
much of the load down for me
and I literally ran around in circles
while I waited for them to
box the pieces up for me
I paid
for 25 pieces
what I’ve paid
on occasion
for 1.
SCORE
I’m still a
little giddy
but I’ve been sick all
week
and unable to dance
or get outta bed
so today
now that I’m feeling
much better
I wanted to ask
all of you
when was the last time you felt positively giddy?
