Invitation Accepted

Last week while in Bacolod, I met an incredibly shy and attractive woman named Veronica. She’s a friend of Doc and I’d met her through him. She hung out with us one night and was super quiet but something attracted me to her, other than her looks. We’d spoken briefly about Napoleon Hill and a few other authors of renown with regards to self improvement. The thought occurred that Veronica wanted more but was uncertain how to get more or even where to start looking.

We exchanged a few messages on social media and I invited her to attend Sinulog here in Cebu. She arrived yesterday. The culmination of the festival is Sunday but there are ongoing activities this week and we will attend a majority of them. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

I’d considered not inviting her to Cebu. In fact, my initial thoughts were to ignore her messages on social media.

Today, Friday, January 17, 2020, I am grateful that:

I extended an invitation to Veronica. In my past, I would’ve thought about different scenarios if I invited her and what would’ve happened. Today, fear has subsided, for the most part, in that area and I was willing to become vulnerable and ask. Her response was irrelevant. Me asking was the most important thing.

Anthony was in town and the four of us got together, had dinner, and visited a few places last night. It was great to see Ronnie do her best to come out of her shell. I repeated affirmed my delight in her putting forth the effort, as I was well aware she spent the entire evening outside of her comfort zone.

When the list is finished, I stop writing.

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
