Well, YaY

World Introvert Day !! until a few minutes ago, I did not realize you exist, but exclamation pointed on my calendar, from this moment on, you’ll forever be

! ! ! ! !

and to help understand this most treasured point of view, I offer a book

shy

a poem

Under My Sidewalk

and a long ago conversation …

🙂  🙂  🙂

Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert ?  she asked & at first, I thought she was kidding.
Isn’t it obvious ?
Or maybe she just needed to hear the straight-up, no holds barred, truth

& so
she inquired, again …
Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert ?

This time, I gave my answer without pause.
I’m an introvert.
FOR SURE.
& then I wondered, is there such a thing as an introverted introvert?

hmmm.
I’ll have to Google.

Extroverted daughter went on to explain, certain situations bring out the introvert in her
& as I recalled how she earphones in ears, hoodie on head, don’t even think about talking to me travels, I had to agree.
But me ?
Am I ever extroverted ?
Ever ?

hmmm.

I think a smidge of me wants to be, as my writer occasionally tries to bust out the !! LOOKIE HERE !! enthusiast. But, one of the super-duper qualities of being dubbed an introvert is the tendency to be preoccupied with one’s own thoughts.

Says Google.
I asked.

Preoccupied with thoughts.
Oh. Yeah.
Now, THAT’S me.

I could live in a world of preoccupied thoughts.
Sounds rather lovely, actually.
Far away from civilization, log cabin in a mountain


my musings, my notebook and me.
Yep.
That would be heavenly.
! ♥ ! ! !

Oh. Wait.
Wi-Fi.
I’d have to have Wi-Fi.
I’d want my words sent out to the fine people of the world
& I’d need a way to communicate with Family because that’s how we roll
& Google.
I adore Google.
So yeah.
Wi-Fi.
&
I guess I would want a little grocery store close by,
gotta have my PBJ’s.
& those friendly faces I need to see every now and again ?
Yeah.
Them too.
Oh & I can’t go very long without hugs
& a Chicago Bears game.
Uh huh.
Sooooooo
Maybe I need civilization after all.

See ?
There is an extrovert inside of me.
Yippee.
She just doesn’t come out all that much.
Hey.
Maybe my extrovert has introverted tendencies ?

An extroverted introverted introvert.
hmmm.

a tendency to be preoccupied with one’s own thoughts
Yeah.
I can do that.

Thanks for this beauty of a day, World Introvert.

Enjoy, I will.
