Back on track!

Yes, I'm supposed to be making this my year  in words, and so far I've managed a few days and missed a few.  Now I'm back on track and updating what has been going on.  There are a couple of cool things.  One - Meeting a new friend.  Why is that significant?  Since I moved to NC 6 years ago I have been so busy I haven't really taken the time to get close to hardly anyone.  (With one very cool exception - Twanda).  I don't have a problem being friendly, but establishing true friendships here has been a little challenging to me.  I recently  discovered that my daughter's friend has a pretty cool mom that I look forward to hanging out with in the near future.  Second, is that I joined a group of women who play "Bunco."  Its a fun dice game ( no gambling involved) where 12 women get together, eat, talk and play a game for about 2 and half hours.  That's what I did last night, and had a ball.  I'm still trying to learn every ones name and feel 100% comfortable, but I'm getting there.

One lesson that I have taken from my experience so far is that when you shine a light on something broken, its a lot easier to see how to fix it.  And that's exactly what I've done.  I'm shining a light on what I see is missing in my life, and am being more aware of how to fix it.  Which I think is pretty cool.  I'm not perfect, and some days I won't do anything to get closer to my goal, but I actually feel good that I am working towards that goal of discovering a new me.
