Make Physical Contact With 3 Different People Everyday for 90 Days

A little girl drew me a picture. Another little child gave me a big hug as they were leaving. I can make babies stop crying. Faries must be hanging out with me and I don’t see them. Just the kids.

Just funny as heck think happened to me today. On the way to work I visited with an elderly woman during my bus trip to work. She told me about how things are going with her world at her age. We had visited with each other on other bus trips and she remembered me. She had a stroke a couple of years ago. Since then, she sings less, socalizes less, but crochets all the time. She designed these great slippers. She says she only makes those because she knows that she can always finish them. They don’t take long. So if she passes away, there won’t be anything left half done and nothing will be wasted.
She was on her way to get more yarn from a friend and deliver a pair to an elderly man. She had given tons of pairs to her family. She gave me a pair. She said she had already given some to the driver on an earlier trip. She told me so much about her life and how she feels and how things in her life had been. It was a great visit and I felt so connected. My mother used to crochet blankets and the same thing, I have about 20.
Then on the way home, I ran into a friend that I get to ride with on weekends. We usually end up spending a couple of hours together between waiting at the stop in the morning and afternoon and the trip. I really like his life and his values and consider him a good friend. We had a really great visit and about half way through, he told me that his mom had caught the early bus this morning. I pulled out the slipper and he just shook his head and grinned. Moms slipper!

I’m planning a party. I haven’t done this is a very long time. I used to do this very well. Here Goes!

This is so hard. Why? I have been hiding. I know I have. What rock did I leave me under? Where is fun and vivacious? Deep Breath. Perhaps I am not ready yet. I will push this a little at a time.

I really like this goal. I want more friendships. I shall figure this out and one day I will post a how I did it explaination for the world.

“A”, little visit, kind of deep conversation, hug and kiss, Merry Christmas.

“T”, Oh Hi, Hug, little visit.

I have been hanging out at home in front of this computer for far too long. I need to get back into my community and rebuild the friendship base I used to really enjoy and actually need. After being married for 24 years and being a couple it is time to make life work as a single.
