We all have something that can make us anxious — and it’s different for everyone. But have you ever been in a room filled with anxious people? If so, have you ever just sat your relaxed self back and watched everyone as they fret with how to deal with their anxiety? I’m still snickering over my observations from today, and would highly recommend the experience as an inexpensive form of entertainment.
Tammy had yet to see Colette. The anticipation had been building over the past months and increased as she shopped for baby clothes, saw photos and had to cancel two previous visits. Ben and Amber arrive with the baby and Tammy is anxious. She is one big glowing smile as she snatches Colette to hold close and cuddle.
It’s not long until Colette spits up, passes gas and begins to cry. Ben and Amber start to twitch. Physically twitch. A perfect example of anxious parents accustomed to holding their baby when she’s crying. The degree to which they were uncomfortable was extremely apparent. But some have the ability to hide their anxiety. Like Scott when he saw his wife exhibiting her best professional baby-holding form.
