8-8-99........x marks the spot

I was at work... A few customers had piled up at the counter and I felt myself getting to the beginning stages of frantic. An odd woman who spoke very fast came up to the counter urgently and started to thump her fingers on the middle of her foreheed in an uncomfortable way. I thought at first she was angry about something but then she said...

"This, I Love This" She smiled and walked away turning back to say "Beautiful...just wonderful" ...

When I get upset it gets bright red ... It was worse when I was a kid(not that I could anyway but,) I could never hide my feelings. It is like a built in mood ring.

It may seem odd but I have always loved my birth mark. I valued it most as a child I think. I thought of it like the kiss from the good witch in Wizard of Oz.When I was in college I enjoyed drawing it...My self portraits were never without at least a thumb smudge to define it.

I don't seem to think about it much anymore so I decided to dedicate a little time to it tonight...OK I felt a little stupid pressing my head against the scanner but .....

HERE YOU HAVE IT ....AN entire page dedicated to the mark on my head.
