I've learned more than I ever thought I would,I've met some great people who have become friends,I've received love and caring and good advice. I hope to give back as much as I have received.

When I was in Oman,among the people with entirely new culture, language and religion, I found most of them very understanding and helpful.They made my stay of eight years in that country very comfortable. I understood the world is full of Loving people, only that we should take the first step and move half the way to meet them

I rarely, if ever, do that Patti jo! One of the first times I did that (and this will seem very benign/silly to some of you), my son lived in northern California and I drove up to visit him...a distance of around 430 miles..that was quite adventurous for me..I took along a hammer..I don't know what I expected or how I thought a hammer would help..I felt very brave and I was quite apprehensive the first time...but after a few trips back and forth I looked forward to it..used to visit him 3-4 times a year..had my favorite places to stop for gas..even went up once when the Tule fog was so bad I couldn't see anything past 5 feet so I hugged the rear end of a semi and hoped he was going where I was going because I couldn't see the signs..it turned out fine because the fog lifted enough that I was able to take the right turnoff! :)

Meeting the love of my life. Guy on the left. I know I do tend to go on about it, but the step was a giant one for me. I had myself thoroughly convinced that I would be alone forever. When I think about what I would have missed out on had I not pressed through my fears, well, I try not to even imagine!

What helps in stepping out of my comofort zone, is to just "do" it...and deal with whatever comes that makes me uncomfortable. Then it's not so bad.

Every positive change I have made in my life (from moving to getting a better job) has been through stepping outside my comfort zone.. Most of the time I was worried that something would go wrong and every time without exception it has turned out to be much better than I anticipated..

I was (and still can be) a hermit in social situations...but I am coming out of that shell and making friends in the process.

I seclude myself at home, but in public, I socialize with others. It is hard for me to be really alone. But, most of the time, I like being around others. I can be a hermit at times. I know that it is better for me to socialize with others.
