Stepping in a Different Direction

Hi Rouky!
I'm very well! Thanks for checking in! Was out in the desert for 2 days for work. We were staying at a hot springs resort. I was there to run a retreat for some of my internal clients at work. Omg it was sooooo fun! It was a ton of work and I'm exhausted (just got home), but I did get to enjoy the hot springs and relax for a little bit. Last night after all my guests went to bed (or so I thought) I snuck into the grotto at around 11:30pm just for some time to myself. Well, some of the rowdy people in my group walked by, saw I was in there and decided to join me. We ended up staying in there till almost 1am! It was a fun time! I went to a self help conference a month ago and I implement my learnings all the time. Normally, being in a hot springs tub with my colleagues would have made me very uncomfortable.... But I've learned to embrace who I am in an effort to be truly me and truly authentic and also very accepting of others. It's helped me tremendously and I've been enjoying life a lot more as a result. So, back to my story.... It was fun to have fun with my colleagues and they got to know me better because I was willing to self disclose and they were the same way. I feel like we have a deeper bond now. It's pretty cool.

On the h front- nothing new to report. His bday is next week. I wonder what he's going to do. He hates his birthday and year after year I always heard how his birthdays were always a disappointment growing up.. Well this time he's sans me and sans my family who always made a big deal for him.... I wonder what he's going to do? Party it up? Are his friends going to do something for him? Does he have a gf who is going to make it special? I don't know. Not my business I guess.
