"I get it."

Posted on January 25, 2011 by Sandy Collier Posted in Uncategorized .

I’m in my favorite Blogging attire:  fleece pajama pants, loose t-shirt, no bra, fuzzy socks, slippers and my headset playing some Jackson Browne.  Life doesn’t get better than this, not for me. 


I had a “spa” day with a couple of girlfriends this afternoon.  It was such a great day.  I really enjoyed getting into some serious discussions about life, religion or lack of it, ambitions, dreams, insecurities, and passions.    I love conversations that help me grow as a person.  It was one of those kinds of days. 


One of the ladies pointed out that I say this certain phrase constantly whenever I am talking.  She was doing it in a kind way and just making me aware of it.  I have been saying it for so long, why hadn’t anyone else ever told me.  She would touch her nose every time I said it; I’m surprised her nose didn’t fall off by the end of the day.  I know I have your curiosity peeked, “what is the phrase.”  I told her that when I “write” that “phrase” never appears.  “What do you think that means,” she asks. 


I think it’s about insecurities that we all have, it’s the baggage that we all carry from our childhoods.  The feeling of not wanting to be singled out, appear inferior to others.  I find that through my writing my authentic being appears.  This is who I am, the real me.  Wow, that’s just so powerful to me.  I just feel lucky because I feel like I “get it.”  I’m unique, I have dreams that I am trying to make a reality.  I’m excited about the future and what life holds for me if I leave myself open to the possibilities.

    Hi there. I love your blogging attire. No bra – wonderful – the relief!! Excuse me, but you didn’t tell us what it is that you keep saying (unless it’s something about getting it!). We-re all agog. Glad you had a good time at the Spa with your friends. Something we should all do from time to time.

    I found the excrutiating detail of your writing attire mildly erotic and stimulating.

    Spa Day sounds better than paying a therapist.

    Thanks for the blog fix, I was in withdrawal.

    Alright, now that I have built up the anticipation the phrase is –

    “you know what I mean.” It’s ridicules how often I say it… I am trying to make myself aware as the “you” slips from my lips.

    Wish me luck…

    And William you sound like a pervert, keep it clean, LOL…

    Thanks Sandy, Do you know Aunt Lena once told me (when I was first married that I used to say “YOU KNOW” in every sentence. I started to listen and by GOD she was right. Not that I like admitting that, but I did work on it and I don’t do it as much, but I do slip once and a while.
