Today I stepped way out of my comfort zone.
You will laugh when I tell you what I did.
I invited a woman I barely know to lunch. I very rarely take the initiative in social situations and I was nervous. I sound like a 14 year old boy, don't I? But seriously for me it was a really big step.
Thank God she said yes and I got some positive reinforcement. We had a really good time and had a lot more in common than I would ever have known otherwise.
I felt strong and confident and empowered.
Going back to school has caused me to do a lot of self-assessment and frankly it's not pretty. So I'm trying to recognize and confront my weaknesses. They are many and social ineptitude is a big one.
Silliness is another.
