I had a committee meeting tonight that was SO FUN! How good it feels to sit in a room with people I love, laughing together while we plan something good for our community. How good it feels to ride there with a friend both ways and to be able to talk unselfconsciously the whole trip!
When I joined, it took me 2 years to feel comfortable around these people. I almost quit I felt so much like an outsider.
Then one meeting, a woman on the committee, "Hello, Joy," when I walked in.
I was hooked! My anxiety about staying or going vanished and I stayed. Slowly but surely I overcame my anxiety, got comfortable with these people and comfy in my own skin around them.
And now I have a room full of friends that I get to see and laugh with once a week for part of the year!
