It has been a long time since I have had the time to participate in Jamie Ridler's amazing circle of wishers; but this week, I felt compelled, and of course, as usual the prompt is very timely.
Jamie asks,
What step to you wish to take?
It's time for me to step out. Out of my cocoon of safety and into the world. Over the past couple of years, I have holed up inside myself, recuperating from a series of loses. I did not do this consciously, but done it was.
It was not so hard to do. I work in a highly interactive and socially demanding environment. Going home and inside the quiet of myself, is a necessary response sometimes in order to survive.
But I went overboard.
And as a natural consequence, my social life has shrunk to a nonentity.
The phone has stopped ringing.
People have moved on with their lives without me in them.
Well, it's time to change that.
Time to reconnect with the rest of the world.
And here is how I will do it.
I will take my work to a café. I have a laptop now. I am not restricted to a specific spot.
I will reconnect with those I have lost track of.
I will volunteer and help my community.
I will take an art class, and maybe join a writers' circle.
I will go out at least once a week, even if it's alone. Just to get out.
I will step out.
Get out of head, and into the world.
I wish to fill my life with interactions and experiences and people.
There. I put it out into the universe. :)
May all your wishes come true!

For different reasons, I have been in that place where I became socially isolated and holed up inside myself. Taking steps to venture out is wonderful and it does absolutely lead to new and sometimes unexpected blessings. You have me inspired to take some of my collage art out in public.

Just remember to leave a spot at the cafe for someone to join you!
I have been (and maybe still am) in the same place you are. I wish you well.

I'm right there with you, so don't worry about getting out and about. The first steps are the hardest, but remember that they're steps TOWARD your new life and AWAY from the old one. Hurrah!

Hi Genie Sea,
Like that you are going full force to step out. That's great. Another place to meet folks is on a committee in your town or city. Many interesting folks volunteer in their own back yards. I wish for you to have a full, fantastic social life very soon!
