Today went so well that I had to write a post. For myself, I also needed to process this new social situation. Today was the first day for Ariel to start her fine arts classes through a home school co-op. I will be frank, I have been hesitant to partake in local co-op’s due to past experiences, but this town has given me a different feel and the people have restored some of my faith in humanity. I am always willing to give things another chance. Sometimes that is good – other times, not so much.
My experience with this co-op has been extremely positive.
Today was no different. I was nervous, anxious, and excited just as much as Ariel. She shares many of my traits, especially socially. She is rather reserved at first, but when she feels comfortable forget about it – she will talk away and has no problems being herself. However, after every social encounter she retreats to her room for hours usually to read in quiet solace with her sole company being our cat Nathaniel. Sometimes I escape to her room too and we just sit there in peace. 
I tried to hide my anxiety as much as possible from her. Continued ... A Good Day!
