Two good things:
1. Went out to the pharmacy - on the way there, walked THIS CLOSE to a young deer! It was so cool! He looked at me a few times, I looked back. Wow. Really neat. He was just munching away. On the way back, talked with a MI guy from Massachusetts also waiting for the bus, and then on the bus saw a former coworker, also retired, who actually said she missed me. Walking back, smelled the last blossoms on some tree. SO glad I went. I don't usually go out on the weekends, but I thought, I had promised myself I'd swim and I did, now I promise myself I'll walk in the cooler weather. I am starting to keep my promises.
2. Went to the tenants party. Skipped it the last 3 years due to anxiety. Was completely calm and ungoofy! Who IS this person?! I kind of like it! I can stand being her! I thought, PC made the difference here in who I am. It's really eerie. I am so comfortable around people. I know I will be heard? I know people like me. NOT an experience I had with the family, or really even with T's, or DBT group. That's what all this support is for? My universe is pretty small, so I could tell this was a big change.
And 3. Watched tennis. Nolo just did not give up! He is my hero. I loved when he turned to the crowd and said, WELL??? You could see his attitude change on his face, when he said to himself, am I going to just lay down for Roger, or am I going to PLAY MY TENNIS?! And he played his tennis, and then he got to dance, and the whole stadium danced with him. I really enjoyed it. I love watching tennis more AFTER I have already had my own exercise workout!
