Dragon boating is huge in NZ V. I know a number of women with your fitness and age group that do incredibly well in it.

Di, I think you and I very similar in disposition. I think you are likely more socially able than I am. I am working on social anxiety in therapy at the moment. I find it terrifying to start anything new or meet new people and it is stopping me from GALing. I always thought it was procrastination and I felt so stupid and critize by Mr Ex and Mr M when I couldn't make social interactions happen. It's exhausting feeling so misunderstood by people you care about not understanding the absolute fear that comes from connecting with new people and circumstances. I have alot of shame about it, that I am working through.

Thanks for sharing Di. Congrats on the amazing grades you are getting.
