Visiting the distant lands.

Today I had the fine opportunity to travel with some friends to a couple generally unfamiliar places for church.  I had high hopes of meeting some cool girls, as is something I should definitely be seeking far more than I have been, and even though I do not feel like I made any specific inroads with any of the ones that I met, I did find a greater measure of personal optimism that the ever elusive girl actually is somewhere semi-nearby to be found.  That alone is the greatest achievement of the day in my opinion.  Optimism and hope are the beginning of every good experience.

And, though I am certainly falling short in many of the girl-enticing qualities I could definitely be working to improve, I think I can even let a bit of the stress go.  I do try to keep a pretty low-key attitude about things in general but even slight pressure, when exerted consistently and for long enough, can have profound and/or undesirable effects.  It is nice to give it a break whenever possible.

So, this is a new week and something I am quite excited to undertake.  I do not really have a very good idea about what will be happening per se but I think the optimism about life is spilling into other areas as well and I'll take whatever I can get.  I certainly need to do that more often.
