Back in step

I had an odd experience yesterday. I went to Dominck’s (which in itself is odd as I typically frequent Whole Foods and shun both Jewel and Dominck’s until I need an unorganic item or I’m just plain desperate.) Anyhow, I walked from the parking lot to the store and a man stopped me. Here’s what he said: “I could watch you walk all day. You’ve got one hell of a walk!”

Now, know that I was completely startled by him AND his statement, but I was gracious, knowing that he meant well and it was coming from a good place. When I recovered (several hours later) I thought about it. I have been WELL known for my walk since highschool. It was nothing I was consciously aware of, but people seemed to notice and comment on it all the time. I still hear a comment or two every now and again, but I felt it even before he said it. I was back in step.

I accept and embrace my walk (which can not be done if I think about it…it just has a mind of it’s own, although it does help to play JT’s ‘I’m bringing sexy back’ in your head, substituting boy for girl…) Typically, I ‘walk’ when I’m dressed to the nines. In highschool, there were only what, twos and threes…no nines until prom. Yesterday, I donned jeans and flat shoes. It’s a clear sign… I’m back in step!
