I fly out tomorrow for The Sewing Summit and on one hand am over the moon giddy that I am going. On the other hand ... well ... I am nervous. Not about the flying (I love to fly), not about the traveling (I love to travel), it is the "being there" that has my heart all a flutter. I hope I don't chicken out and spend the weekend in my room (just kidding - I would never do that - however the thought has crossed my mind). I have packed and repacked my clothes. I have become a bit of a country mouse these past few years and now I feel like I am heading to "the big (chic) city" and well, that sort of scares me a bit. Not the city itself (I have a good sense of direction and not in the least bit worried about getting lost), it is the mingling amongst those who I have admired from a far. And when I get nervous, I do one of two things. 1. Shut down and just observe and not say a word (which may appear conceited). 2. Won't shut up and say too much (which may appear prideful). Oy!
Say a prayer, will ya?!
I will say a prayer. I think it is only natural to feel this way and you are probably not alone in being a bit nervous, you may be surprised who else is if the truth be known. Maybe you could just tell yourself "I am here to have fun and that's what I'm going to do"! - We will be looking forward to the fun report when you get back!! xo
ReplyDeleteSaying one right now. I shut down too. Kind of try to blend into the woodwork when I'm in an uncomfortable situation. But you are going to enjoy yourself and learn so step out and fly my friend! Remember, I couldn't go so I'm counting on you to share what you lerned when you get back:>)
