Feeling good dont ever cost a thing..

Yesterday I watched a red light turn green..yeah its normal for all those billion of people living around the world but for me ..its just a sign of me slowing down. I had an ongoing war with traffic lights. Me..and the red light glared at eachother for years. I would dash off regardless of the honking, the cursing of pedestrials, the angry look of all the traffic lights cos i always need to be on time. I have been dashing off to office, to meetings, to coffees, from lunch and back...and to kill all the cursing i always had my ipod on.

And yesterday as I felt the red light glare at me, probably it recognised the rebel and dared me..and while Nelly Futardo screamed " i am like a bird.." I breathed, and waved the white flag. I am sure I heard a sigh of relief as the red turned to green. The world stopped..the motorbikes, the cars and as Nelly Futardo sang I crossed the road. I felt like a queen for whom the world bowed, while she crossed the bridge. As my world slowed down and I lost my first battle to the street lights..I felt like royalty.

Yes, Nelly Futardo ...Im like a bird, Ill fly away..but not today! Today I slow down..and breathe!
