I had a great GAL activity last night. Went to the wedding of a fellow officer and had a great time mingling with the people, renewing old friendships, making new ones, joking, enjoying the festive atmosphere. I even was asked twice to dance by the groom's mom and this other older lady!

I just had a lot of fun. I haven't danced in YEARS. I actually was just looking at the people dancing til these two ladies dragged me on the dance floor...That was a real 180 for me. I almost declined but thought "oh what the heck, let's have fun".

I drove home thinking "If my W could only have seen me tonight, she wouldn't have believed her eyes. This guy actually danced!"
It felt good just enjoying myself. This GAL truly showcased the new me, the new mindset. I thought it was OK to have fun, to be HAPPY for a change. Made me forget what I've been going through for the past two years, even for 4 hours. it was great. I thought for a minute it would have been great to have my W at the wedding and have fun together...One day maybe...
