I find people who aren't shy just don't get it and think we should somehow "snap out of it!"<br /><br />It amazes me how much that number crops up - all over the place! I can't seem to get away from it :-) xTeresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-22208927231024012752013-07-15T07:46:56.213+01:002013-07-15T07:46:56.213+01:00Thank you so much for this lovely nomination, Tere...Thank you so much for this lovely nomination, Teresa. I am sorry for the late response. I don't know how I managed to miss this post back in June. I really enjoyed reading it this morning and am intrigued by your number fifty-three. <br /><br />Like you, I am very shy and have spent my whole life trying to deal with it. I was very happy when I read Marianne Faithfull's autobiography and in it she said she admired shy people. I saw myself in a whole new light and realised it wasn't something I needed to hide. xxJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-72034601378231923562013-06-21T15:45:00.014+01:002013-06-21T15:45:00.014+01:00Thank you, Petronela - it's something I've...Thank you, Petronela - it's something I've always wanted to do, maybe I should do it now (there is so much to tell) :-) xTeresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-11956343345420563122013-06-21T15:44:09.475+01:002013-06-21T15:44:09.475+01:00It doesn't surprise me, Glynis xxIt doesn't surprise me, Glynis xxTeresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-64187779142543816292013-06-21T14:08:15.968+01:002013-06-21T14:08:15.968+01:00Congrats Teresaaaaaa.

I'll have the post up in a day or two. My usual Friday post went up last night so I think I'll wait till at least Monday for the next one!<br /><br />Some of your answers are quite intriguing. A shy and modest person that you are, I can't imagine you being banned from anywhere. How very strange.
