meet more people

I went out with friends on Saturday and was introduced to someone whom I have known of but not known. We hit it off and I think this person could become a regular friend. Yay!

I went to an art function with a girlfriend last night and renewed my connections to three different people. At the same I got a depressed girlfriend out on the town and feeling better and supported another friend who was showing her work. Yay! That was fun. I am going to continue to attend all the free community events I can.

Soo, I’m pretty much kept to myself. I rarely go out with the intention to meet people. I only go out to do whatever I want to do, so I hardly know anyone. Now, when you want to do something, but you have noone around who wants to do the same thing, it’s kind of boring and just discourages you to even do anything. So, I figured that meeting new people and hanging out with them would be a good thing for me. Where to begin…hmmm.

Most of the time I’m pretty Weird, I never used to be but these days I tend to freeze up when talking to someone new. I work as a waitress so I talk to people all day everyday, but I never make an impact on them. I guess this isn’t about meeting people, more so about engaging in meaningful conversation besides the usual how are you, good, and good.

I realize that I have met many more people than I could have imagined simply by writing this goal and reading it daily. Past friends are back in my life. I have made friends with past customers. I am becoming more involved in the art world in my own community. I feel like I am judging less and enjoying moer.

I believe that meeting more people is the most important thing I must do in life.

Today I attended the Open Studio tour and went to the studio of the artists who participate in the same class I do. I particularly enjoyed getting to know one woman in the class who I wanted to know better. We will probably be great friends and will share some fun art times together. I am so glad I took the iniative to go.

I substitute taught at the high school today and when it was time to leave I made sure that all the paperwork was correct in the office before I left. The lady who helped was a substitute secretary and also happened to be the same woman who wrote an article on me and my art about five years ago for the local paper. We had a lot of fun recognizing each other and chatting about the different directions our lives were going. I guess all roads lead back to the high school in this small town.

Being summoned for jury duty has significantly helped with meeting new people.

I am having fun at work reuniting with two women that I have known in the past. I am starting to feel more connected with people than I have in a long time.
