May 16. Day 136. That's just showing off

If you've got it flaunt it. That makes so much sense but it is a fine line between selling yourself and being totally up yourself.
There's no arguing this bird has it. What an amazing figure the Anhinga novaehollandiae - The Australian Darter - cut at the University of Queensland lakes this morning. All its undeniable assets were on display for all to see.
Must be nice to have that much confidence. I admire those you can put on such a display without any self consciousness. It's not something I'm good at especially when it comes to those "sell-yourself" moments - promotion documents, job interviews Facebook profiles that sort of thing.
Perhaps I need to learn to spread my wings a bit more. After all, as the mother of a teen there's always a voice to bring me back to earth should it ever appear it's getting out of control.
