Last night I was over at the house of this family who shows genuine love towards me. We ate dinner, played scrabble, and watched a movie together, and I actually laughed! It's rare these days that I spend quality time with others who care about me, and laugh. Laughing is such a good medicine. It feels good to connect some with others. Hopefully this pattern continues...hopefully I start to trust others and open up more, when I feel comfortable. Having fun seems pretty necessary, and I'm glad I stuck around for the movie and allowed myself that opportunity.
Thanks for this!

((((((((((((gracie))))))))))

Sounds like a lovely evening
Its time's like those, when you are able to interact with those whom you love, and of whom return that love, when you are really appreciate the potential that life has to offer.
Keep that image, and those feelings in your mind whenever you feel sad. Often times it is those memories that help us hang on to the good out there.
Here's to more evening spent like this.
