I was home briefly with my W before she went out dancing for the evening.
She talked about how she nurtured a male friend of hers (a nice guy actually), who is going thru a D, and helped to connect him in the latin dance community. She talked about how she wished she could have done that for me. She noted that I seem to be blossoming without her in the ballroom dance community. She said that we weren't a good match for anything. My intuition told me to leave it alone, and not try to reassure her. I think she needs to feel what she's feeling.
She's getting closer to making the commitment to quitting smoking. This kind gentleman who she's been nurturing thru his D, offerred to help her quit smoking. It's interesting that he has a similar temperament to mine, and has similar qualities.
It was pleasant to talk with her, rather than being silent, like it has been in prior weeks. There has been no mention of a D, lately.
An opportunity came across my email today. Writing is one of my GAL activites. I've been writing for about two years, so am still a beginner. This year I've been trying to develop skills in creative nonfiction, particularly the personal essay. I've been doing it daily on my own.
The opportunity is that a local private library is hosting a weekend workshop on creative nonfiction. The timing is excellent. I will certainly attend this.
I was a member of a writing group, but wasn't ready for it. I will need to find the right writing group at some point, again. This will be my first workshop.
