Coffeesmurf, I admire you for setting your goals and going after them. I know that some of this must have been very hard for you. I'm glad to see you are utilizing them as a learning experience and who knows, she may call you back
I took a side track and decided to concentrate on fixing some of my "issues" before continuing with this exercise. Have worked through a lot of things in a couple of weeks and came to a lot of realizations. First and foremost is that not everything is always as it seems. My perception of a situation can be skewed by my ego. I have faced a couple of situations that in the past would have crushed me, but now I realize that it's not always about me.
This has helped me see that I take things way too personally and helped me to loosen up a bit. I think this will help me to get back to the social aspect and I feel ready to make progress again.
Last week I went to a rugby game and had a blast. Today I talked to a guy at the gym for quite a while. Tomorrow, trading info with him on what we discussed today. Also tomorrow going to go to a State Park to help clean up for National Parks day. Haven't figured out after tomorrow, but I'll work on it.
