Empowerment of going out alone Day #5, and this was a doozy!

in #self7 years ago (edited)

I did go a bit overboard today, but it all just happened and fell in place. My empowerment journey today started at one of my favs today Avvio in Garden City.

Chicken Sandwich with pesto, cheese, and roasted peppers. Was a bit of a carb and sweet day. Thank God for the greens on the side to make me feel better about being off my diet!

Late afternoon movie. I saw The Hitman's Bodyguard with Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds. Action packed and I thought the two of them were very funny together. And Salma Hayek was a riot in it also.

Yes, wine again. I definitely made a day of it!

I did miss my ex-boyfriend a bit because for 2 years I've had him sitting next to me in the theater. But I'm moving ahead and getting out with my own plans!

Being close to my favorite restaurants on the East Greenwich coast, my car just seemed to go in that direction.... and I ended up at Blu on the Water just like that!!

Strawberry sangria and ....

Crabcakes. I was going to go home but I hear, "Are you from the meet-up group?".
I told this nice woman that I wasn't but asked "What is the meet-up group?"

It is a group that meets up for dancing, hiking, dinners, etc. Never heard of them, but guess what? I ended up staying and meeting up with them all. A band came on and I danced for almost the whole first set!

I finally went to wait for my car at the valet area!
So much for the market and cooking, but after all, breakups are a time for adjustments and I'm adjusting with as much fun as possible.

Creating new memories and being happy with yourself can be easier and more fun than you think. Life can change in the blink of an eye.

Get out and enjoy life and see what surprises are out there too!

What a nice day you had! I like going to the movies and don't mind at all going alone but I don't really go out to eat much but I think I will start soon, lol!
This sandwich looks really good and I love crabcakes as well! It was meant for you to meet those people, it sounds like the dancing was great!

hi! Yes, it was nice. I liked going alone too. Didn't think I would but it was fine!

That movie was great too if you haven't seen it yet!

haha, yes, go out and treat yourself once in awhile. YOLO

thx, the food was great! loved it! ... & I know, so funny how I met the group and had a blast dancing! :)

Have a good night :))))

I love Samuel L. Jackson so I should go see it! I think Ryan Reynolds can be pretty funny too!
It's really a great step you did just in doing so much today on your own, but not necessarily "alone" if that makes sense! I hope you plan on meeting that group again too, that sounds like fun! You have a good night too! It's like pushing 1 am and I'm not off of Steemit yet! #steemitaddict

I agree, you were on your own, but not necessarily alone. That's amazing that you stumbled upon a meet up group and went dancing! Sounds like a great day of spending quality time with yourself and finding new adventures!

@aliceariley exactly ... on my own but not alone. It is amazing. Just fell in my lap. I was wondering when the band would start and I go up and dance with someone or not anyway! But it was nice having people to talk to there!

It was a great day! Yes, I did enjoy the day of new adventures! Thanks!! :))

@clove71 good for you on steemit so long! I want to be on it a bit more. Just have some neck and back issues from Iphone and computer over usage! or I'd be right there with you on here! Such a nice group here (except for that annoying spammer I just hid lol.)

Yes, you will love the movie if you like those two actors. I love them too and they had me laughing. Lots of action and shooting too, but their antics were really funny!

Exactly about the not really "alone" at all. I was far from alone! lol Yes, I'll meet the group again. I have to make an account on their meetup site! ;)

Hope you got some sleep!!

yummy

I am Cornholio! (Whoa! Hm heh... that was cool) I need T.P. for my bunghole! Come out with your pants down!

Nicaragua....aqua for my bunghole.....arriba...

Thanks! It was all good! too good :) Even had dark chocolate raisins. Yes, very yummy! :))

You're always doing fun stuff! Food looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!

Aww thanks! I am consciously getting out there! And once I'm out I seem to stay out and just roll along!

Glad you liked the food and the post! Thank you!

I am really you have made out your day on your own. Amazing and empowering efforts. Thanks for sharing the day with us. Next time you go out, you may be physically a lone but we all are with you by our thoughts and sharing your fun in every adventure you take. Keep it up :D
