The Art of the Day is: the art of taking turns
Interesting. I was part of a new group last night, and we had no firm agenda, we were kind of exploring what it was that we were going to be, agreeing that we were going to be, and overall I think it went well. The exception was when someone said something that I didn't want to talk about, didn't want to deal with, and all the tension in my body went into my neck muscles, and I guess I tried once or twice to move them on to another topic, but other people picked up the thread, and I just sat there in tension. Eventually we moved on, but I'm still wondering about the group dynamics of it all, and trying to tell if I've got my place right. Was I "in charge" and should have tried harder to change the topic, was I the only one who was uncomfortable, and therefore should have spoken up for myself, or let it go? And why did it bug me?

Some days "It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place". This blog is to chronicle the running, and point out the interesting things, people, places, I meet on the way.
About Me
- Name: the other Joan
- Location: New Hampshire, United States
I've lived in all 4 New states, NY, NJ, NM, NH. I grew up as far away as you can from Manhattan and still take the subway.(I used to put subway tokens in my penny loafers so I could click my heels three times and go home). I've sung solo in the Parma Opera House. My brother and sister are twins. I believe that people want to be used, but they want to be used well.

Red Queen Rules:
- Keep your eyes on your
own plate - Be yourself,
it's who you do best - Every problem has
a family
Because it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place.
