I still don't have a good answer for "Now what?" from last night's post.
But the side effects have been quite interesting. Nothing like the saying I repeat 10 times a week: What you resist persists.
I was much more comfortable at the show last night. Why? I wasn't busy trying to stop myself from having little fantasies about some of the folks in attendance. I made eye contact with a couple of people I mostly avoid. I didn't have any extra thoughts, I just didn't feel ashamed of the ones I was having.
That was the shocker! I had been feeling ashamed. Instead of working hard to not judge a couple of people for their choices, I actually just stopped judging them. If you know me and my cast, I'm pretty sure you have NO idea who I was judging nor who I was resisting. The obvious guess would be wrong. :)
As far as the obvious guess, I felt different with her, too. I don't know what that is about yet. I know it is a good thing for me, for her and for our friendship. I may not try to figure it out.
