Another month gone! It is really amazing to me how quickly the months are passing. I'm sure that sounds like a broken record, but right now, I'm grateful. There are still moments where I wish time would stand still, but ultimately, I want Tom home.
I went out this evening for a very enjoyable dinner with an unlikely source. I thought of her as merely an associate up until this evening, but am so very happy I met with her. It just seemed to be one of those weeks, and we both felt the need to go out for a beer or two. We decided to meet up at Joe's Crab Shack and have dinner there as well. We chose Joe's because of the playground attached. I honestly didn't know how the conversation would flow, but 2.5 hours later, we were finally able to call it a night. We were both amazed at how much we have in common and how freely the conversations flowed. It was such a nice change of pace from all the busy-ness of life lately.
It takes a lot for me to put myself out there with new people, but I'm so glad and grateful that I did this evening. Trusting people is something that I'm very skeptical of, but tend to do easily. I do give people the benefit of the doubt, and I'm okay with that. At some points it makes me feel more vulnerable, and others, more gracious. Its a fine line, but only one that can be deciphered through experience.
Today as a whole was a good day. There was excitement and laughter as well as relaxation and a sense of calm.
