to communicate

April 17th: I'm having a serious toddler flashback. I'm sitting at my desk feeling strangly unsettled..sort of angry..almost in tears..Reason: I seem unable to express myself well when I talk with my boss. We don't (she does not) understand each other (me). I'm trying to say it right and in different ways. And I think we're actually are on the same page but I'm not sure..so now I'm sitting here, remembering the strange feeling of an upcoming tantrum. Is this how I felt when I was 2? Wanting to say something but not able too? Frustrated to the core? What a horrible feeling it is!

If you think about the challenges we overcome while being very very young; learing to walk, learning to comprehend and vocalize a language wíth the cultural connotations...How could this not encourage us for any challenge we face as grown ups.."hey, I managed to learn how to walk, I'll manage ... ".

However, this was not one of those encouraging days..but it was intersting to experience a feeling I did not remember.. luckily, the weather was a-m-a-z-i-n-g..warm..inviting..spring..almost summer-like, so a good day after all! And yes, I did manage to finish the assignment successfully. 1-0 for the grown up me:) Maturity prevails - no tantrums for me anymore...
