sometimes, things work out just right

Yes indeed they can from time to time. It always seems to be a pleasant surprise. I guess there is more cynic in me than I would like to admit at times. Recently I decided to take a dance class and actually did it, not just talk about it. My honest expectation was just to get myself out into new areas outside my normal circle so I could interact with new people and hopefully learn a valuable skill along the way.

I am on my way, happily.

Tonight I went out to a dance outside of class with another of my classmates and to our surprise we actually really danced and didn't feel foolish. We danced. We smiled. We laughed. We talked. We both generally just had one simple nice evening that I hope gave us both the confidence that we can do so again no matter if it is together or separately.

One little step forward. One small moment of putting yourself out there to do something for yourself just hoping it might work out ok. Nothing compared to Neil Armstrong but a good one step nonetheless.
