Outside of My Comfort Zone

After 9 1/2 months of reclusive living...existing...going through the motions, I stepped out of my self-imposed seclusion to live among the masses.

I woke up early (0500), threw on a shower and fresh clothes..then drove to town. My work was holding a 5k race this morning for employees and their families. I had originally planned to participate but backed out a while ago because I just couldn't bring myself to be around "outsiders" that I couldn't relate to. BUT, today I stepped in to volunteer at the race and had a great time (and got a cool t-shirt)! I caught myself actually smiling...real smiles...and enjoying myself.

One the way home I called the Whittens. I knew they were going to Florence to the annual Renaissance Fair...sooooo...I took a leap out of my box and invited myself to join their family adventure! Trust me...I NEVER do that! We had a great time! There were some very serious Renaissance characters...lots of food...things to buy...FUN! FUN!

The best part was knowing that I was not sitting home alone (which was my plan)...and that I was finally enjoying my life again. Even as I sit here to blog, I am at the Whitten's house having a glass of wine, waiting for dinner to be ready, listening to the Bama vs TN game (Roll Tide)..and watching for my wonderful husband to pop up on Skype.

It is such a great feeling to finally find my balance and learn to smile again...learn to live again...learn to love myself again!

Peace, Love & More Love!

P.S. My biopsy was benign!

The Dark Days

I still have them...just without drinking through them. Sometime I wish I could, but it's not an option if I want to live. Peace
