    My first walk through the city while kilted

    Went into Center City to take in Scotland losing to France and Wales winning over England in the 6 Nations.
    I think this was my first time walking through town while kilted (Pride Of Scotland - I love these colours). It's quite amazing how much taller I stand, my usual slouch goes AWOL.
    No negativity at all. A wee chat with a fellow expat outside the pub.

    Get home before wife. When she comes in, after gushing over the roses that appeared on the doorstep while we were out, I say to her that I better change before going out to her Valentine concert tonight.

    She says.......

    No, you look great, go as you are.

    Sounds like a great Valentine's Day present!

    What you focus on becomes your reality.
    You can't control what other people do or say, you can only control how you respond.
    Don't act your age, it's not healthy.

    Sounds like a nice day all around. It is amazing how ones attitude changes whilest kilted. The whole world looks a better place, and one walks a little taller and more confidently. Enjoy your evening out.
