1. It is 89 degrees, sunny, not humid, nice breeze.

2. I am sitting outside, drinking iced tea and I have no shoes or socks on.  :)

2. The weather today in my hometown is beautiful its sunny & warm just a all round pleasent morning so far!! ;D [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

Comforts of home.  [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] A friend posted about the weather in my part of Indiana. I looked out at the cloudy, nearly cold day and felt a pang of jealousy.  ;D

I'm sure once you move back to Indiana I will be feeling pangs of jealously towards you TamaMoo lol.  ;)  :)

What did you do?

Weeeellllll, I have some anxiety issues (social and just general) and since moving, I've had a hard time doing new things without knowing exactly what I'm supposed to do because I'm afraid of embarrassing myself or doing something stupid. So, today I took the bus somewhere new by myself. Walked around and got lost and found my way back and as far as I know, I didn't embarrass myself. Anyway, it was a confidence boost.  :)

Well done! I have suffered from self esteem issues which led to (comparatively not that bad!) patches of anxiety and doing anything like that seemed like a huge hurdle, so lots of congratulation.
