Sudden Realization Hits Like a 2x4!
So life has been up and down and in between. I've been doing better than not so good. And some days are pretty damned good.
I'm settling into the new place fairly well.
I fell in the lake face first yesterday... On accident. Valkyrie sat and laughed at me. I know she did. I could see it in her eyes. Demon dog. Grr.
In the little over a month that I've been here I've met more of my neighbors and had more meaningful conversations than in the last 3 places I've lived. It's an older neighborhood, most of my neighbors are old enough to be my parents, or a few years older than me with children.
(of course, everyone is warning me about the quirks of everyone else. It's enough to put your teeth on edge. Between the diplomacy required to live on a peninsula with a large number of other people, and the democracy needed to work with about 18 other females some days my teeth are on edge more often than not. And not in a good way. On the bright side, I like almost everyone I've met that lives near me, and I'm happy with the majority of my coworkers.)
Today, though, I realized that while I'm healing, and mostly a me I can like and admire - I have one major failing that I saw and is currently irritating the hell out of me. It's not something I'm really ready to share, but it's something that needs to stop. Working on making it stop is going to be hard as hell. I'm naturally a very shy person.
But, healing is always a good thing!
