During Lent, our church had a small dinner every Friday night (meatless soup, bread, mac and cheese) and my husband and I sat at a table with people we didn’t know. This is one of my worst nightmares: making small talk to strangers. But everyone was really nice, friendly and kind. We met new people and we greet each other at church now.

Truth be told, I still liked going back home at the end of the night. I still like my alone time. But to me this was a big deal, breaking out of my comfort zone. I wish I felt more comfortable around people but I’m glad I did it.
