I had a coming out party. No, not that kind of coming out. I think that it actually happened about 3 or 4 months ago. I recognized that I am actually a somewhat outgoing person. After years of being introverted and shy, I find myself more drawn to other people. I hear that the definition of an introvert is someone who recharges by being by themselves, whereas an extrovert recharges by being around people.
Being in a marriage for 10 years with a true introvert affected my personality and the way I viewed myself. As with any individual, life is a constant series of discoveries and I have discovered that I do enjoy others. (usually)
I don't know why I say that or how it is relevant, but I once again realize that this blog is for me and it always helps to write it down.
Ok, so last week was fun, I realized this whole dating thing is harder than it looks. I think the most important thing I have to work on is communication. I need to understand what I am saying and what is being said. Sounds simple but for some reason I am not so great at it. Hmmm...maybe that is why I am now divorced? Let me think about that one...
I got to go flying yesterday. Yeah! It was a great trip up around Utah Lake and we flew over Nutty Putty Cave and back. Perfect weather. It is always a lot of work and preparation but I can't think of anything I would rather be doing. There is just something about it that sucks me in. I am having slight radio difficulties but nothing I can't figure out. I think I am having engine interference. When I transmit, nobody can hear me when I have the throttle up. So in order to be heard, I have to set the engine at idle. This makes for a lot of up and down flying (literally). For those that don't know, the throttle doesn't actually affect speed in these machines. It only affects altitude. So full throttle doesn't go any faster, it only goes up. So when I set it to idle, I only have a limited amount of time to transmit before I have to go back up. Thins can be tricky since we like to fly close to the ground sometimes.

I'm always amazed when I meet a true extrovert. Though, I think that being an introvert with extrovertish tendencies isn't a bad place to be.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm an extrovert (in case you were wondering) - I always feel "up" after I've been around a bunch of friends. I have introverted moments, when I need peace and quiet to recharge, but I think I actually prefer quiet-in-company to alone quiet. If it's grown-up company...I don't recharge very well with kids around :P
