May 4, continued.

Well, I voted today...did you?

Also today I met a friend for conversation and coffee. We had a very nice time and very nice conversation. We both shared our problems and concerns with just life in general. She needed someone to talk to and I was more the happy to listen. I don't really know if I said words that were comforting, sometimes just being there to listen is all people need. We will be meeting again next week for conversation and coffee and I am really looking forward to it.

I've spent many years kind of avoiding close contact with others. I know that sounds weird, but I've never really had anyone who I can open up to, to share my frustrations with life. Yes, I do have a husband I can do that with..but, sometimes you need others. I'm beginning to think it's not really because I didn't have friends...but, more I didn't allow anyone to get close enough to me. I've always avoided talking on the telephone. On facebook I hide myself so nobody can chat with me. I'm beginning to realize...what am I hiding from?

I think my Tuesday morning coffee break with a friend may be a day I really begin to look forward to!
