We’ve
cozied up to another manic popularity contest. Woman of the Year. Best Mother
Ever. Who would’ve thought we’d be looking over our shoulders, incredulous marathoners
eyeing the open road, perfectly incapable of believing the finish line will be ours
to break.

Yep. We get there, and we just can't believe that we are the first. I liked the images this provoked.

DeleteLove "incredulous marathoners" and the idea of cozying up to a "manic popularity contest" – it's tough trying to be everything to everyone. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteNever was very good at this particular race, me. Thank you, Suzanne!
Delete"manic popularity contest" ---- right?! Great piece!
ReplyDeleteTotally. Thank you, Jen!
DeleteI have felt this way...and never fail to feel this way every time there is something going on at school. UGH. Probably why I tend to keep a low profile and avoid those hallowed halls at all costs. Great piece and analogy!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a low-profiler myself : ) Thank you, Kathy!
DeleteGreat title and interesting post.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it. Thank you, Marcy!
DeleteVery interesting, Kymm!! Doubt on the edge of an exhilaration ... Perhaps that is what we run for :)
