It's Time to Sing a Brand New Song

Journaling:
Life is pretty plain these days, but I will not complain. I will take plain over stress and worry any day.

I've been thinking more and more about getting out there to date.
I've been wondering more and more about the guy from the church I visit every once in a while... last time I was there we did make eye contact. I haven't been back since that day b/c I've had to work, but I will be in attendance to the next 3 Sundays, before I move...so if I see him again I will make an attempt to smile or say hello.


I am putting together a team for a 5k run in June....I am doing a 180 and reaching out to people I don't normally talk to and inviting them to join.

Also I did a 180 and offered to help a former co-worker and friend w/ moving on Friday...at first she said she didn't need the help, but then later she said she did and will contact me w/ more info. Normally I keep to myself more, but I am stepping out of my box to being there for people more, to be a better friend... and actually not be afraid to label someone a "friend".

From past experience I found most "friends" to be hurtful... so years ago I decided to never get too close. H was my first close friend as an adult and he proved me right and hurt me.... but I won't let that experience keep me closed. I want to be more open to change, hurt, growth and whatever else comes. I want to be able to handle it and not let the "hurt" actually "hurt".... but know it's not always about me. So I'm putting my self out there more.

For a GAL I am attending a Meetup dinner at the end of the month as well. I was made and "organizer" in one of the Meetup groups I am a part of, so it will be fun to create events that I am interested in and have people want to take part.

I spent the last week or so making a really fancy updated resume.
So I am going to start my job hunt. I am hoping to find something I can stick with for a while that pays much better than where I currently work.

One goal I would like to set is working out more and by mid-April hopefully losing 10-15 lbs.
If I can do that, life will be pretty darn good.
