You
know, I must tell you, when I first decided to go to one of
these events I was looking forward to it. As the time drew nearer,
the excitement started changing to anxiety. While getting dressed
for the event I was wondering, what the heck am I doing? I haven't
seen or spoken to some of these people ever, or on a very limited
basis.
Well, throughout life, most events are like this, so
I finished dressing and just went. I found out it was not a
concern. I had a great time! The crowd consisted of mature grownups
with open minds, opinions, and discussions.
They were the people
we went to high school with, only 30 years later -- with more
wisdom than when we were kids. I did not feel uncomfortable
at any time about who I am now, physically, emotionally, or
spiritually. Nobody cared how much you possess, what physical
characteristics have changed (my God, we are all experiencing
that!) nor any judgment of lifestyles. We are all at the same
time in our lives and are just enjoying each other, bringing
each unique personality to the table.
So
come and take part in this community, and add some "new"
friends to your life. We will be happy to have you! But listen:
If you just want to drop by for free food and drink, that's
cool, too! See you at our next event.
