Time To Engage

Hello Everyone: I came across an interesting community service opportunity, serve on a historic preservation overlay zone. I definitely have the background for it and I decided why not submit my name as a candidate. I figured why not and it might be a great way to make some connections for the future. I also completed another tutor test. This one was a little easier because the company is looking for tutors who can provide students with constructive feedback and guide them to the right answer. I think I can do that too. There's another tutor test I'd like to attempt in social studies. I think I have a better chance of passing that exam than the essay one. Hopefully there's no grammar to correct. Grammar has never been my strong suit. I always tell people who ask that I'm a much better content editor than a copy editor. I can check facts but not grammar. I leave that to people who have a better handle on it than I do. I definitely feel that things are slowly turning around, for the better, for me. I decided that it's finally time to get out of my head and into the world. Whatever opportunity I can find to interact with other people, I'll take it. No more hiding out from the world. Call it a new year goal--I hate the phrase new year resolution. Too concrete. A goal implies something to work towards. A resolution has a sense of finality to it. In general I finally decided that being a she-hermit was no longer working for me. I always thought of myself as being part of the greater world. That got upended pre- and during the pandemic for various reasons. I have nothing and no one keeping me house bound any more so it's time to engage.
