Getting out of Comfort Zone

I have been getting out a little more as well as doing things I don't usually like to do. Went to two potlucks this weekend. Sure I like potlucks, cause there is food, but these were with people I do not know well. I went and even tried to mingle, but mostly I stayed which was the miracle. In the end, I was glad to stretch myself and meet new people, who were interesting. I respect the Flair group and their committment to raising adopted children of color, and advocating for the children against the racism that exists in the world.
At the other party I learned that it is good to keep the food simple and to drink lots of wine. I figure I learn something from getting out of my comfort zone.
