stepping out of my comfort

  So I'm gonna start out this blog by saying I am an introvert. I don't do many things alone and I especially do not go out of town on my own and go explore!  I know, I know, "you're 40 and don't do what?!!"  Yeah that's me, my anxiety is sky high so I would rather stay home and watch Hallmark than leave the house. Today I had a Dr appt in Victoria.... and I went alone! All alone and I am OK!  My mom said she'd go but I never gave her full details.  My husband kept saying he would go with me but I wouldn't let him. He is taking our son out of town for his birthday trip mudding and I wasn't gonna let anything mess it up. So I ventured out alone.  This is big for me in so many ways. I'm sure it's nothing for most, but for me it was a huge leap. Sounds dumb I'm sure 🙄.  After my appt I googled some boutiques and told myself "you're going to check these places out".  So glad I did, they were so cute and I even kept a full ongoing conversation with one of the owners of one. Found out I knew cousins of one of the other owners, she used to live in Corpus and her cousins still do.  When I finally finished my shopping I was famished so I Googled a Cafe.  I got sent to this super adorable little old house turned Cafe, "Yummy Finds".  If you've never been, oh my gosh it's so good. I would usually get a chicken salad on croissant because that's my fave and my norm. Not this time though, I stepped out of my comfort zone and got a Rosemary ham pannini.   It was so good!! I sat and ate lunch by myself. I don't normally do this, I would usually just pick it up and take it home. This time I did not do that, I couldn't it was a little bit of a drive to get home.  

  I know this may sound very miniscule to some, probably to most but for me this was huge.  I do go shopping on my own sometimes don't think I don't, but the thing that was different here is that I was not in town, I was not with someone out of town.  It's ok for you to think what you want but for me I was proud that I could step out of my comfort and do this....alone!
