At this moment I am ready to go out to my husband's first sax recital. All his friends at the senior center will be there along with his teacher and whoever happens to be at the restaurant where he is playing.
My heart is pounding, my head is in a whirl and I know in my nervousness I will make awful social faux pas as I try to make conversation.
This is the first time I have been out to a social gathering in a long time. But how could I NOT go?
This may be a big part of why we are attracted to the virtual written world of steemit. It is a kind of control...
Never worry about faux pas... Be yourself, if others don't like it- too bad. I don't mind a bunch of people around as long as I don't have to interact... They're just objects, like chairs. Just be there and not there at the same time.
Well I did it and I made no terrible gaffes but these are my husband's friends and they know me when I show up rarely so I do have to be polite and interact. These are people I like; they are not the problem.
I wish I could be there and not there at the same time.
It was actually a great recital and my husband is very talented and out going. He sang and played his sax and I was really impressed by how he plays up to the audience. For the last year as he has been taking lessons I only hear the notes he plays (over and over) and never hear him sing. He played with another new student, on the trumpet, and his teacher, who plays piano and sings...another great performer. I could tell the audience really enjoyed it.
So I am glad I went but I am very glad to be back home. I am enjoying this steemit life.
I hope you had some fun and I'm really happy you survived!
Yeah. We will have to go out sometime in this steemit life. have lunch..
