Disaster
As if the chocolate pudding weren’t enough…
I am in my black leather high heels, returning from a meeting. In between towers, I am walking relatively fast because I have to get ready for dinner with a friend.
Minding my own business, I hear *snap* and then. Suddenly. Find that I am that much closer to the ground. At least the right side of my body is.
I take two more steps and stop.
Turn around.
And like a war victim, find my heel lying wounded alone and unattached to the rest of it’s family.
My right heel has snapped off my boot. I’m staring at it as I type. It’s lonely and sad, and I’m killing myself laughing because of the insanity of my week.
Don’t they say that bad things come in threes?
.1. I locked my keys in my car on Sunday night.
.2. A horrible conversation ensues on Monday evening.
.3. I snap my heel today, Friday.
I expect things to start looking up immediately.
Have a good weekend, kids.

I can hear the little heel pleading with you...
"Go Maha! Save yourself!!"
well
i've heard it said somewhere
that
the best things happen after bad times pass.
"it's always darkest before dawn"
hmmm.

Michelle -- And here I thought I was the only one who had conversations with my shoes! ;)
FIERY CAN YOU SEE ME?
Andrew -- You're right...it is always darkest before the calm.
I think the trick is to make certain that no matter what that calm turns out to be, you know, you know, you know (even if it's not what you wanted) that it's for the best :)
Storm's passed...calm's found it's way to me...all's excellent!
many hugs,
maha
