One of the major lessons I have learned through this, and a key to surviving, is that when you don't feel like it, do it anyway! Last night I was tired and not too enthusiastic but I went and got to know someone new, got to know one of my Pastor's a little better, my ego was stroked when pastor told me the women of the church were "scoping" me out, and I got an invite to another weekly event. Now, if I had of sat at home waiting for the football game to start, which is what I wanted to do, I would have missed all those things. They're small things but they add up and are essential to staying sane through all this. So, new Survivors get out there and let it happen, the good stuff is there but we have to do our part to make it happen. God wants to work with us, but he won't do it all for us! Thanks for checking in GB and NH.
Nothing is going to happen by sitting on one's butt!
Not true, Trip! You can get a sore ass, get fat, carpal tunnel syndrome from overuse of the remote, hurt yourself crushing beer cans on your head...lots can happen
wii, great advice. I think part of it was that life was happening all around us for so long--there was someone right there to motivate us to DO something. Now, when we have the times that are just us, there is no certainties of who will be going along for the ride, so we sit. There are so many unknowns that we aren't used to looking forward to and experiencing.
I'll take a non-alcoholic tequila sunrise, thanks!
