Odd Duck? Who Me?

"Angel, you're an odd duck" someone said to me this last week. Let's see what else,... "You never know what she's going to do next", "Oh my gosh!!! I can not believe you just did that" and many more.

All through my life I've done the unexpected, pushed the limits and stepped outside the comfort zone of most. Some might say I do it for the attention, some might say I'm immature, some, I know, really want to join me, but for some reason feel hesitation. Perhaps they fear looking crazy. I don't really know.

What I do know is that when I do things that elicit this type of response, it's usually because I am following my bliss. When I am in the middle of following my bliss, my level of concern about what other people think about me or what I am doing is just about ZERO!

The reason I was perceived as an odd duck this past week is because I was all excited about this new device Keri and I got for ourselves called a vivo fit, perhaps more commonly known as, a fit bit.

What does it do? It tracks the number of steps you take throughout the day. It alerts you with a little red bar creeping across the face of the watch type device when you have been sedentary for too long, creating awareness and encouraging you to get up and move. Just as I had hoped when my little red bar started crawling across my device, I'd get up and move. A goal is set based on a profile you fill out and as you reach the daily goal it adjusts and creates a more challenging goal for the next day.

So, while walking in place at work and cheerfully responding to requests to fetch this or that someone stated with a chuckle, "Angel, you're an odd duck". Yes, this is true of this persons perception of me, but to me, I am just my happy self doing what I do to maintain my good feeling life. I'm too happy to be concerned with what anybody else thinks about me.
