Lessons.

I sometimes think that life is a series of lessons to be learned. Some you get immediately, some you struggle with. For me the lesson that I have trouble with over and over is assigning importance, significance, impressiveness etc. to people I don't really know. I am cowed by their obvious greatness and superiority to me. Then I get to know them, or know about them and I find they have issues too.

The cool work from home job of one lady I was in awe of was scrapbook parties. The very impressive, very significant guy lives in a tiny, very messy house and is terribly shy. The ever so self assured lady often doubts herself, and she looks at others with the same awe I do.

I think that I need to both ramp up my self image a bit and smash the rose colored glasses through which I look at others. Not that I need to start looking down on them but instead with a bit less awe.
