Maybe it's my outlook?

Lots of mind stuff going on these last few weeks.
Noticing behaviors that I don't like about myself and paying attention when I do them.

Being mindful.

I am learning a lot. mostly about how I move through the world. Now there is a sentence that I have written a lot about in the last year.

Tonight while working my shift at the traveling show someone came up to me and asked me if my name was (enter birth name) and I recognized my cousin Billy whom I haven't seen what seems to be 20years. Maybe he was 18 or 16 or 21 that time I saw him in front of a local underage club. It has been a really long time. I was so surprised and grateful to see him that it brought tears to my eyes. I quickly recovered though and did my job. I hope he wants to be friends.

He was seated in my section and saw me help a client at the show to their seat. HE WAs seAted in My SectioN. Funny how life works.

I also realize I need to pay more attention to the crowd and not the show.
I realized that my first shift. Now that I have worked a few it is easier. Tonight I caught 3 people using their phones to take photos. Yep. NO photos allowed please.

I also need to be more mindful of advice people give me the first time as in the long run they are probably right. (ways to clean up the big top faster)
