Interesting day - odd to watch the changes in myself.

I was a sit in chair for my meeting today, a first for me.  I am so terrified of speaking in public, but I am learning to not be, thanks to AA.  It went well.

The usual secretary had not been heard from, so everyone suggested I do it.  A regular came in late and just seemed not his usual self.  He was very quiet, avoided eye contact, I actually thought he may be sick.  I went to him after the meeting to check in and he said that the secretary had called him to fill in and apologized for being late.  I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure he was prety drunk.  My old reaction would have been anger and judgement.  But today - if it was not inappropriate - I would have given him a hug.  My heart just hurt for him.

Lastly, I go to Best Buy - I HATE shopping, hate lines, hate grumpy people who are obvlivious to their surroundings and the people in them.  I go today, nothing bothers me.  The lines, the folks having bad days.  I floated right through it.  We left and I said "That was fun!"  My daughter looked at me shocked!  "You hate shopping!".

I am grateful for who I am becoming.  It feels so much better.  I lost my life over the past 2 years - and it is coming back but so much better than it ever was!

Love to you all,

btw, Master & Commander in Blu-Ray on HD TV is the BEST EVER!!  great day!!
