So, call me crazy (again), but this challenge got a little easier yesterday. Perhaps it is because I was at the church all day setting up for the Chili N Jeans night. We had
Lisa Welchel as our speaker, and I cried my blooming eyes out last night, so you will not be seeing any pictures of my eyes today. (See
this post.) She spoke about friendship, and when you combine what amazing friends I have with the possibility of relocating, and having to find new friendships, you get a Debra that is feeling just a little sorry for herself. I HATE making new friends. I like my old ones just fine. I feel so socially inept. But I believe that the God who has called us will not leave us. So we move on. (Also, on with me continuing to quote Scripture to myself. :)
So... Here is my day.

That gingham shirt is cute as a button - I'm glad it was such a powerful time listening to Lisa speak!
ReplyDeleteOhhh yea!! You and Lisa- love it! Don't you just feel like you know her?? All those episodes of Facts of Life I watched and loved. Sounds like a great night and I love your gingham get up!
ReplyDeleteYou look great in the gingham with that color of the cardi - and the pearls are the perfect touch of chic-ness!
ReplyDeleteI have to flexible as Gumby in my job, so in my regular life, I totally know what you mean about wanting things to stay the same and unchanging! However, change goes hand in hand with life and new experiences that help to make us more complete people.
Great outfit and listening to Lisa sounds like it was so moving and inspirational!
ReplyDeleteMaking new friends as adults can be difficult but if you go into it with an open heart and mind, people will see what a great person you are in no time!!!
Thanks for the encouragement, everyone. I try not to unload much, and really am generally happy. Just trying to adjust the new possilities. "Whatsoever state I am in I will be content."
ReplyDeleteI'm a remixer too, and love your outfits! and! I am very very jealous that you got to listen to Lisa Welchel speak, AND meet her! Very very cool!
