Hello, all. First I must apologize for not writing all week — I’d been in a good groove with posting but last week was hectic.
I’m pleased to share that dinner went really well! It was four of us and we had the nicest time. The hour flew by and we all agreed we must do it again soon. Then on Motzoei Shabbos, I went to a high school reunion (something I thought I’d never do, but with this strange new…sense of humor? courage? foolishness? I went for it) and I LOVED IT. I was the only one there from my graduating class who is single and I was conscious of it for sure, but at the same time it didn’t bother me. This is new. We are more than ten years out of high school but I did not feel nebach. I felt kind of mysterious, like none of the others really know what my life is like (and I suppose none of us really knows what’s going on by anyone, anyway).
A bunch of us made tentative plans to get together at the pizza store, the original four of us from dinner plus two others. I am happy to be reconnecting, it feels like a new door is opening.
