Making Friends old and new

I have had a great weekend and to bout did needn to leave my home! We decided to stay home and make time for friends. Over the past year we have not had much time to dedicate to others as we have been looking after ourselves and healing. I really appreciate the friends that have understood that we needed to focus on ourselves, Harrison and the pregnancy.

Finally the time has come where we feel that we have the strength to open our home and spread our focus. Saturday DH invited a few friends over for a rained out BBQ. I was nervous to talk to people outside of my closed circle that knew my plight but enjoyed myself and meeting some new friends. This is a step forward for me and facing new people as I have mentioned before how I lost some self confidence. Today we spent the better part of the afternoon outside just chilling and relaxing with another group of friends. As I type I am waiting for my friend to come over so I can congratulate her on her engagement. I think I may be ready to start taking those first few steps outside of my sheltered circle.
