Good morning!
Can't believe its already Sunday! The weekend flew! On the exercise front On Friday, had an hour strength training session along with a couple of miles walking. Since then I haven't done a thing. My lingering cold is putting a damper on my energy levels - I have decided to lay low for a couple of days.
Went to the St. Pattie's Day parade here at the beach. So much fun!! It lasted over an hour and the Princesses scored! Two beach buckets full of candy and necklaces. Last night - I was supposed to meet a friend out for drinks and dancing. She was in town for a moms' weekend. Sitter came at 7 pm - thought I would get a quick bite to eat before meeting them at 8ish. Well - plans were pushed back. They wouldn't be out till after 9 pm!!! What to do with myself for 1 1/2 hours SOLO.... going over my options and decided to head to a yummy sushi place. Headed for the sushi bar with library book in hand and enjoyed a quiet, delish dinner. It was the perfect way to unwind and to look forward to a fun night!
I surprised myself last night - first, I didn't know any of the girls last night except my friend. Usually I totally avoid these situations. I am so shy and nervous - I just clam up. I hardly ever give myself the chance to meet new people and have fun. I put my fears and self consciousness aside and had a GREAT time! All the ladies were so nice and outgoing and welcoming. I was so proud of myself! Secondly, I did dinner solo. Something I haven't done in years. When I worked - I traveled a ton and did most of it alone. At the time - it was really fun - exploring new cities. As with everything else in my life - I started to close myself off - not taking any risks. I feel doors are starting open for me. Moving forward, taking those risks and challenges will help me grow and to find my true self. I hope!
Beautiful day here! Think we will head to the beach for some playtime.
Prayers and thoughts go to all those affected by the tragedy in Japan.
Enjoy your day!
