I would like to recollect three instances in my life when I felt on top of the world and give thanks for those times..
- That time I got through an audition and voice test and was selected as a compere for the local radio. I was in my late teens but was so overwhelmed with joy and excitement that I was jumping around the house like a bunny..much to the amusement of my parents! Oddly enough being accepted at the university simultaneously didn’t bring the same amount of joy! I am so very very grateful for that moment and the thrill of being able to host a local radio show! Thank you soooo much!!!
- The time I first started running and realised how much I had under estimated myself! It was such an elated feeling the first time I ran with people my own age and understood I could far out beat many of them. Indeed this was a revelation as all my life I have been used to undermining myself and my capabilities..my heart swelled with pride and happiness as the others heaped praise..so very very happy and grateful for that joyful moment !
Last night when I was listening to a recording of some feedback my course facilitator had given me. I initially did not take it seriously when she kept repeating the word ‘excellent’ many times. I needed to go back to my assignment and compare it with the others ‘ assignments in order for me to understand and accept that my work really was excellent! What a revealation! Feeling on top of the world and so very very grateful for that moment. Thank you!!
I would like to thank my body…
