OK...I am known for acting boldly...jumping ahead and taking risks. When you are a person that does that, you have to assume that not everyone will automatically jump on board with full support and excitement. I had to laugh this morning when I started telling some folks that I decided to open my private practice and leased a space...Here are some of my favorites:
1. Oh, I didn't realize that you were thinking of that... (translation: Have you really thought this out?)
2. What? Are you kidding me? (translation: You have now lost your mind. You need a therapist!)
3. Are you sure you are ready for that? (translation: don't go fucking up people's lives!)
4. And when do you think you can fit this in? (translation: And when do you think you can fit this in?)
5. Really? Wow! That is so exciting! (Translation: I am really happy for you! You will be great!)
I think I am ready for this. I have gone between #1 and #2, #2 and #4, #4 and #3 and back to #1...several times. I am now at #5 (for today!)
