Single in the City

I'm sorry I haven't entered a new post for a few weeks. I've been in a bit of a "lull" in terms of subjects I feel are best to post to my blog. As this is a type of personal journal for me, I sometimes struggle whether to post details that may be deemed too personal. You are my family and friends and if I am experiencing the frustrating times of life, I'm sure you would be quite understanding. I also wonder if maybe you have read about enough as you can handle about my knee or my niece Morgan... still, I hesitate to show as much candor towards my personal life. Let's just say I've been having "single girl in the city" moments lately. Oh and this doesn't imply they are the Sarah Jessica Parker frivolous type, I've just been a little lonely. ; ) All is well, I assure you! My life has been upended in terms of my friends over the past year as many of them used to stem from my running and triathlon training team. Since I am no longer able to participate in that group, I have been searching for other social circles to join and get involved. As pathetic as it may sound, I have to admit, some days it's easiest to lie on my cozy couch and watch shows I recorded on my TiVo.

As I am sure some of you can empathize with me, I realize this behavior is not getting me anywhere towards where I want to be in my life. Based on this, I've decided I need to get out more and accept as many invitations to be social as possible. Maybe even initiating invitations myself! Imagine that? The result in the last week or so has been more than I expected. I have been enjoying movies and dinners out with new and old friends. On March 8, I'll be embarking on a Point Reyes hike/BBQ with new friends from church. This is all good. I'll keep you posted on any fun events that hopefully arise, I promise! I live in a great city and even though I've been here for some time, there is much to explore. Obviously, this is an area where TiVo will not be able to help me! Hopefully, it will be my couch that is lonely for a while.
