This week:

Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point.

Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does.

Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land.

The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour.

Snow tomorrow.

Same on the four o'clock waking. I have found nothing that fixes it but I have found it helps to know I am not alone in it.

Would you be willing to say more about how you raised it? I have an appointment on the 14th and I keep losing my nerve.

Thank you for saying the hard part out loud. It makes it easier for the rest of us to.

Not a number and not a competition, and still: well done. Quietly.
