My supervisor said something interesting today. "You look different."

To a lot of people that may seem like a normal thing, nothing to get too excited about, and at first I felt the same way. I said, "My hair is longer?" Nope. "I've lost 15 pounds?" No, that wasn't it. "I'm exhausted?" That didn't spark anything either.

Finally she said, "You seem calmer, more in control. You're more easy going. More... centered!"

Wow. I can't believe that I actually look the way I feel! It was a huge compliment to me; a much bigger one than if she had commented on my weight or my hair! To have my #1 priority (about myself) recognized by someone else who doesn't even know that well is just thrilling to me.

Could this mean that I've that much closer to "getting it"? Should I be so bold in thinking that I may very well have a firm grasp on "it"? Can I actually start feeling like I have something extra to offer people, that I might be in tune to something that isn't just 'me'? Could I maybe, just maybe, be starting to live like I think? Is it possible?!
