I feel like I am making headway in the whole wanting friends thing.
I blogged earlier about the very nice mom I hung out with. She and her daughter are coming over again for another playdate on Monday.
I also reached out to a mom I had seen a couple of times and went over to her house this week. We really had a great time. I felt like we could talk and had good friend chemistry.
And my every Friday playgroup, which I was having mixed feeling about, I am really starting to enjoy. I think it just takes me a while to feel comfortable with people and I get impatient for the feeling uncomfortable time to pass. But I think it has, which is nice.
These are all good things. Maybe they are in response to the lovely Emily's visit, which had made me happy, but then sad when she left and there was an Emily shaped hole. But maybe these new friends are being sucked in by the friend void.
And today I was struck with a bubbly feeling I couldn't name until I realized I was feeling happy. So that's a good thing for sure.

That is a good feeling.
Just remember to tell yourself the same things you would tell your son about making friends.
An Emily-shaped hole? At least it's a very short one...
So glad you're working on some potential local friends. In the meantime we'll have to do better with our phone dates. Thanks for such a wonderful visit!
