Bark4,
Thanks for your post. I wasn't implying that anyone else was responsible for making me feel out of place. I know I'm not the center of everyone's universe. My thoughts about it were what caused me to feel out of place. I chose to have a few beers and the experience gave me some insight as to how I can handle similar situations that may arise in the future. I stated from the beginning of this journey of mine that perfection is not the goal. I'm not perfect, never will be........I am learning so much though about myself and I'm ok with what is, because it already is....so why fight it?
