A view from the outside

Heh all -- my hubby came with me to a little get together of a few of us for dinner last night.  People there were in the process of getting steps done for approval, all the way through two years out. 

He was very impressed on the support the get together gave to each of us.  He saw first hand how the sitting with each other and shooting ideas and stories back and forth was so supportive and important to the process.  The contact, kudos, seeing results first hand, ideas on food, and how shared journeys just seemed to give everyone a huge boost to keep working at a common goal through our shared community.

Just thought that an outsiders view of how important the little get togethers like coffee, group and "field trips" really are. 

So get yourself to a gathering and share yourself with others !!!  While you may feel you don't make a difference -- whether we know it or not we all have something to give to someone else!!!

Yup, it was fun!   But what a great prospective!  I never thought of someone on the outside sitting there listening to all of us LOLOL

Thanks for that... wonderful post!

I'm happy to hear he was not too bored...sounds like he is glad you have this?  What a cool guy to point that out.  Tell him thanks for the outside view!  :O)  
I agree getting together for coffee's or even in small groups for coffee' other than sat. works so well and is critical for me in this journey.    Many folks can't make sat. coffee.......so gathering a group and arranging for a meeting that fits your schedule during the week is a great idea! 
This is such a great place to make those plans and find the peeps in your area!   :O)
