All our little quirks make us special....in one way or another.LOL......ME.. quirks? It would be harder to try to find something that was normal about me rather than that which is different....but loving every wierd thing!... I'm pretty fearful of the word "normal" anyway....Great post!
I do all four of those things you've listed, Elizabeth - we must be related!
I have a thing where if I turn one way I have to turn BACK the other way. It's a nightmare, actually. Vacuuming the house is a nightmare... with furniture as obstacles I end up tying myself in knots.
Wonder if the turning thing is why I get lost so much....? There's a post in there somewhere - but I feel so embarrassed about it that I've been refusing to engage with it!
But hey, your post has encouraged me to voice it here - so that might just have started something....! Thank you! 😘
Well, I do come from European stock (Scottish/English, I'm told). I know we also connect on the tendency to make wrong turns. We were recently given a hand-me-down robovac that couldn't follow a straight line if it tried, so it seems you are in advanced company there. Please do make that post. I imagine you will find many kindred spirits! Appreciate your thoughts on this, Rebecca.
I'm so late to the table on this my friend and after reading I think maybe the universe decided i would need this today rather than on 8/9.
I've felt on the verge of big shift for at least 4 months now...(truthfully, maybe 3 years or more but now I'm actually moving instead of clinging!) and I realize reading this that much of my fear and insecurity is related to the security provided by of all of my own quirks. I cling onto my tiny systems of coping and producing and scheduling as a way to feel as if I have some control over my life in spite of the 'haywire' energy that comes with trying to navigate the big stuff that we have far less control over..
Blah Blah Blah
Thanks for helping me see my quirks for what they are, what they help me with and what they may be holding me back from. With humor.
I also have a young boy hilarious potty story from our time on the Kentucky border that to this day gets my daughter and I yelling at the top of our lungs with a tight British accent "I'm GOING TO THE POTTY, I'VE GOT TO GO TO THE POTTY " eventually followed by "I'M DONE" all because at one point he was told he'd done a bad wiping job and from then on had no confidence in his solo efforts.
Thanks, Kate. I'm glad this hit at the right time for you. A lot of individual shifting going on, no question, driven, at least in part, by global changes. Sure, many are disconcerting, or seem so on the surface, but I like to think (to hope!) there's good to come of it.
Your British/Kentucky boy had to be a stitch, and I look forward to being witness to the mother-daughter rendition some day!

I guess I'm similar, Barry, because you seem perfectly normal (or perfectly weird, in the best ways!) to me. Thanks for connecting, as always.
