PROMPT January 26 Yesterday was Opposite Day! Today I want you to take an opposite point of view. Imagine a place you go to regularly - they gym, your regular coffee shop, wherever you choose. Take up the POV of the person at the counter, the bike across from you, any one person you choose. What's your first impression of yourself? Is it the real you or one you plan and project? The place I go regularly? Well, I'm a creature of habit so I go to the same places all the time. On the same day. At the same time. Probably wearing the same clothes. So it's hard to choose. But I love to cook so I believe I'm probably at the grocery store more than anywhere else. I always seem to need a little of this or some of that or an extra item or two. I don't always have everything I need for a recipe. And here's the rub. I have my three places to shop for groceries. The first is Nugget Market. Quite a nice store with lots of selection and top-quality produce. But it can be pretty pricey. Next is Raley's. Also a nice market with a fair selection and pretty good produce. Then there's Safeway. Trying to be a nice store but just can't get there. Produce is ho-hum on most days. But not pricey. So depending on how much time and money I want to spend will dictate where I shop. I try for Nugget most of the time...but, hey, no one wants to spend a fortune on food! So the people at Nugget see me the most. I always try to smile and make conversation with them, but what do they really think? Here's what I hope they think: "Hey, here comes that funny lady who makes me smile!" Or, "Gosh, it's nice to see you again, Mrs. Whoever You Are. I appreciate your smile." Or, "Can I come to your house tonight? Because whatever you're making with these ingredients sure looks good." That's what I hope. Here's what I really think is going on: "Here comes the crazy lady with the funny looking hair." Or, "Hey there, Mrs. Whoever You Are. Your jokes still aren't funny." Or, "You're here AGAIN? Can't you keep the fridge full?" It always feels like me vs. me. Who I think I am and who I really am to other people. Regardless, I can only be who I am. And I don't intend on changing that anytime soon. So...I can smile and nod, and they can think what they think. |
