Thursday 31 May 2012 - Tonight after work, I met up with my good friend Mark. I had not seen him or talked to him for quite a while. I feel like I have made a breakthrough, and am thrilled about it.
I fell for Mark's friend last year. Long story short, it didn't go so well for me and I was fairly devastated. Since then, whenever I saw or heard from Mark, I would then think of the other one, and would feel down for days afterwards. Even though some time has gone by, and I am feeling more positive (most of the time), I still felt hesitant to see or contact Mark, with that mental & emotional link ongoing. Unfair on him, but his friendship has not failed me, and tonight, I was very happy to see him again. We had a brief but lovely catchup, and I feel good that we re-connected. Small steps.
I feel so grateful for all my friends. Moreso with a couple of white wines in me (now), but also when I'm sober! I would be a wreck without them watching out for me, and always being there for me.
Also tonight, my nephew Mitchell is being confirmed in the Catholic Church in Sydney. Thursday night is a random night for a Confirmation, but I suppose they have to work around the Bishop's busy timetable... My brother Sean, Mitch's godfather, has flown down to be his sponsor tonight. Bless little Mitchy, such a lovely boy. Not so little any more, but still totally loveable.
