I can't seem to focus on what all the jabber is about. But if I "connect" with another who has something to say, then I can listen/chat for hours. Funny about that.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-2878813604593342542009-05-18T16:35:00.000-04:002009-05-18T16:35:00.000-04:00Hi Steve, nice post and I understand where you are...Hi Steve, nice post and I understand where you are coming from! I am not the most comfortable person in social settings and it use to really eat at me but I have come to understand that part of my make up is the fact that I can't just rattle on about stuff the way others do. If I talk about something I am passionate about like recovery I am fine but just normal mingling is hard for me. I love wolfie185https://www.blogger.com/profile/08113710218994046562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-61866246845599521412009-05-18T16:25:00.000-04:002009-05-18T16:25:00.000-04:00I once had a friend tell me when I was going throu...I once had a friend tell me when I was going through a period of hating life (not long after I lost the last of my hearing), "If you want to be a part of life you have to participate." <br /><br />It took me awhile to fully grasp what she meant.

Just recently I've been to a pig roast, a benefit dinner and was invited by some other district committee members to hang out after a district meeting... all of which were fun occasions to get to know new people and hear about their Jess Mistress of Mischiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766848582303523764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-91310290418446000092009-05-18T14:55:00.000-04:002009-05-18T14:55:00.000-04:00I started a mens dinner e years ago.

We laugh, take the mickey out of each other, assassinate a few people, talk about the girls, especially the ones we aren't married to, and play the would you wouldn't you game.

The standing joke in our circles is that, between the 2 of us, we probably average out to a normal social person.<br /><br />I hate going to meetings where there are no chairs to put away while she's doing the socializing that she needs to be complete with a meeting.<br /><br Ed G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15063291064985198651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-70901071253642894952009-05-18T07:22:00.000-04:002009-05-18T07:22:00.000-04:00hmmm, fellowship AND a grilled hamburger.

Thanks for reminding me that I don't have to "act" happy because I am happy. Last night when I wrote by blog for today bloggers was one of the things I listed that I was thankful for.
