NSVs

 For years my family has had season tickets to the Phillies (baseball).  Over the past two years, I stopped going to the games because I was uncomfortable in the seat.  My hips were wide, my legs were long, my knees were sore, etc.  Tonight I went to my first game in two years and was able to sit pretty comfortably in my seat.  (NSV #1).  So I'm sitting in my seat, minding my business (and dancing a little) and the lady next to me nudged me and said look at the big screen.  When I looked up, I saw a woman on the screen who had on my hat, my shirt and a big smile.  It took me a second to see that lady was ME!  I didn't even recognize myself!  The smile, the long neck, the cheekbones, and especially THE SMILE (I know I said it twice!).   I think not recognizing yourself is a pretty significant NSV.

Then I ate some popcorn.

That is great!! I bet it was a beautiful smile! Popcorn, schmopcorn... it could've been nachos and cheese. I'd say you did good!

Thanks!  I only had a handful of popcorn but I knew that I shouldn't have done it.  Back on track this morning.
