Well, it’s here.
Tonight begins my 20 year high school reunion. I do not like social events with a lot of
people. I like things small and familiar
and comfortable. And sure, these are all
people I know…who I haven’t seen most of for 20 years. I’m not going to lie, there’s been some
anxiety. I just don’t like events.
It’s funny, I can stand in front of a classroom of
judgmental, smart-mouthed, distracted by technology adolescents all day and
have the time of my life – but the idea of spending two nights with my former
classmates makes my tummy twist.
As with everything else in the past year, I’m bursting
through this self-built wall and dealing with it. It would be easy to stay home and work on my
homework, clean the closets or even spend the evening with the man. That would be staying in the same place I
am. I’m stretching and growing and
continuing to spread my wings every day.
So, tonight I will reunite with my fellow Tigers. It will be fine. And I’ll end up feeling better about tomorrow
and enjoying the time with old friends.
Now, what will I wear?
30 Days of Gratitude, Day 6: 1. The opportunity to catch up
with old friends. 2. Many packages at
the door this morning. 3. Stepping outside of my comfort zone.
Go get ‘em, tigers!
YAY! Here's to stepping out, sister! I relate to this MUCH! And I admit, shedding some L-B's eases my anxiety somewhat. But the truth is, with or without excess weight, I just love my cozy little circle and there's nothing wrong with that. The difference for me (now) is that I'm done missing out on those important milestone-type events - prioritizing based on what's important vs. what's comfortable :). <3
