The Elephant in the Room

I danced with my tall, handsome baby brother at his wedding.  His new wife comes from money, so we were at a Utah ski lodge in the height of summer.  The ceremony took place on a mountain in a field of wild flowers.  The band was excellent.  Before the wedding, I had told my new sister-in-law there were two things I would not do:  the Chicken Dance

I love the spirit behind this post - learning to love your own company is such a skill.

It took awhile, but I wouldn't change it for anything now. Thanks!

Yes. Yes. 100% yes. Just got past Thanksgiving with my family, where my more traditional relations keep asking when I'll stop paying so much attention to work and my education and settle down. Never mind that I'm content being highly educated and looking for a fantastic job, making plans for myself for my future.

Education is fantastic - I'd be in school forever if I could afford it. Good on you for staying true to yourself.

I have a lot of respect for your attitude. Sometimes I wonder whether I am happiest alone myself.

It took me awhile to figure that out. Thanks so much!
