Dear Friends,
This afternoon I put my creativity to good use. Instead of running a monologue in my head, I decide to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations.
Not very far from where I’m camping under the sun, a young man is putting on a “verbal” show to impress the girl on his left. He drops clever lines, she giggles! He leans forward, touches her arm, she giggles some more. What a farce! My jaded self is amused. I feel like cutting in and giving her the heads up that it’s all a fib, but then I change my mind. I believe every woman or man, should have the opportunity (at least once) to experience the “pleasures” of being chatted up!
This evening a grown-up version of the conversation I heard on the beach is taking place in the lobby bar. Guess who is the guest star?
As soon as I catch myself lowering my gaze and tossing a strand to the side, I realise, although I have become smart enough to recognise the "game," I’m still dumb enough to play it! What a blessing! Can’t help but be grateful! All I can say in my defence, is that same old nonsense sounds different in a less familiar accent!
Have an unwise, playful day everyone!
