I’ve really enjoyed group the past couple of times. It’s becoming more comfortable to say things when I think of them. I think about things so much and feel like I have a good understanding, but the difficulty I can have when it comes to moving it from my head to my mouth has been kind of eye opening for me. I guess the only way to change it is to keep doing it, hopefully. The people in group are becoming endearing.

You get to know them and become familiar with their problems, lives, and quirks. There are those hang ups that people have and their personal looping ruminations where you wonder why they can’t get past it and you think you know what would help if they’d do it. But everyone is moving at an individual pace and the point isn’t usually to speed them up. The point is to use and honor the time that they took to show up.

The kids had a track meet in Carlinville. This is another one I’d never been to. It was nice because we all rode together for the 43 mile drive. Zorro came too and did well in the car. Ethan had his conference meet and at one point I was watching two different races in two different states. The sophomore boys formed a 4×4 relay over this past week so we stayed for that. I like the track meets for the races and family times.
