This is a wonderful thread. All of you and your efforts are awesome. I went to a music-making party last night despite social anxiety. I had some pleasant conversations and met new people, always a good thing. Enjoyed the dessert table (bourbon sauce...who'da thought it). I made mistakes singing a song, but am practicing my goal for today of not bashing myself, being kinder, more forgiving toward myself. Success so far. I haven't really started my day yet, other than feeding my dog, checking email and PC.
