Well Red, I have to totally agree with you. Life is for living.

Afternoon adventure and lessons learned..About getting out..
 
It is best get out earlier in the day when a person has more energy..Of course I knew that when I walked out door but I went anyway..We did go to the zoo but opted to take the bus tour this time. It was my first time on the bus tour in 15 years and it was a hot day and I was tired so it was good idea. The were lots of kids from schools all over the county at the zoo today..We spent lunch with about 200 of them. Not what we had in mind while eating lunch but it did quiet down after about a hour or so. 
 
We did a little shopping for salad stuff on the way home. When driving home a crazy driver burned rubber and almost lost control of his truck, and the most upsetting part was he had a small child in the front seat with him..We turned around and tried to get his license plate number but lost him in the traffic..I guess it was good to get out!? but man is it feels so good to be home again..
 
So I guess the second lesson I learned today is that if tired and really wanting to stay home and relax on the couch than that is what I plan on doing from now on..I'll just shut off my phones and shut down my computer like I always do it works everytime.. 
 
Third lesson...It's not good to force yourself to do something you really don't want to do..
 
Forth and final lesson..Life is not greener on the other side.
 
Well that's all for now. I'm tired..

I'm just struggling finding time for myself, so I don't get the practise I need, for the exposure, and progression to feeling better towards others.

I am unbelievably good at not going any farther than the grocery store. Which can be really annoying to a partner who wants to travel.

Just a little thread to discuss the idea of getting out, the possible steps involved in getting out. Where would we like to go?  Where do we get out too when we do get out? If and when got out last? How did it go? Was it for work or play?  Did we enjoy our time out?
 
As you can see I may be having a hard time getting out..I have been hunkering down here at home for a  long while now and avoidance is easier than going out..or is it..Shutting the world out is easy for me letting it in is the hard part. So today I am going to compromise. I have been working on going out instead of bringing the world in my house in a physical sense..No I could never do that, at least not yet..
 
I worked on some issues and make some dreaded phone calls this morning looking for answers this morning. To my surprise I got my question answered. Yesterday I make a decision to make a for later this month and hopefully I will get some more questions answered then, and than maybe I will be able be comfortable enough to make some more decisions and resolve some of the issues I am having..There are so many steps in this process it is hard to remember where it all started and where it will end..
 
Anyway you can see I am all over the place with this so I am going to try to get back to where I started with this thread..and give my mind a little break. Today I have finally got myself dressed and am ready to get out of this/here Just For Today.This is the TRYing part and the making it happen part..The steps as they say.  I am thinking about going to the Zoo for a little diversion. I could call it avoidance but I don't want to. If it is avoidance is a positive and one that is needed so I will call it a diversion and way to break free and get out..A little exposure and reward at the same time.
 
I mean life can't be all bad out there can it..Getting out is good for the soul..I am looking forward to getting out the door today..So I guess this is it the longer I sit here the harder it gets..Talk to you all later I really must go..
