Monday

No visibility near my house, was glad to drop the car off and to no longer have to drive.  Was in an extraordinary good mood by the time I got to work (and also with an extraordinarily bad back ache, not affecting my mood as of yet.)

I think I've found my "tribe" again.  When I was a kid, I ran cross-country, I wasn't any good at it (I think I've mentioned this before) but I enjoyed the people: it was my tribe.  (And those people that I saw recently and didn't want to leave?  Those were the same people.)  And I think this is too.  I only hope I'm a better actress than a runner...I didn't care about running, I tried to, but it wasn't my passion.  I do care about this.  It might seem weird to just include myself, and I hadn't actually given it much thought, but my sister said something to that effect when I saw her on Saturday.  And that rings true for me.  If I'm not able to do it in the exercises yet, I feel like most of the time, when I'm doing the work, especially the chair work, I'm able to be completely myself.  I'm still an introvert and a bit of an outsider (and those go together for me-I'm not really good at the group thing), but I'm comfortable enough to be myself from the deep to the stupid and deeply flawed.  I hope we're all back in the winter.
