A little light-headed

I'm doing a little branching out and the change in atmosphere is making me a little light-headed. I don't network. I don't mingle. I'm much better at forming a cluster with my friends than meeting new people. I am pretty good at keeping the cluster together because I hate to see anyone left out, but being out on my own is a scary thing.

So at the last Marketplace Connection lunch, I had to make a decision: force my friend to bunch up to make room for me at their filled table or find someone new to sit with. And in a shocking turn of events (tied mainly to the fact that I don't like to bother people either), I sat at a different table and made conversation with people I didn't know well. And then Mary invited me to the meeting of the American Christian Writers chapter at FamilyLife. And the topic is perfect for me. And I'm going (because, well, you know...I guess I've decided I'm going to try to be a writer and all). All this newness...it's going to be OK, right? Sure it will.
