This is great - thank you for sharing Mickey.
'Build a new comfort zone' I LOVE that idea. I love the fact I can change my comfort zone in a good way. I'm not stuck with my old one for the rest of my life , I can build a new healthier one.

Thanks Marc, that's right, you can build new comofort zones - think of it as learning to play golf or a new language, as you practice and work through the learning curve, you "groove" it and muscle memory takes over and then you have a new comfort zone! Happy Holidays!

Thanks again Mickey. I resonate with you talking about having conversations with other men & not being dismissive or minimizing my situation. But on the other hand since I am no longer doing that (for the most part), I now find myself being more open and talking to a few men, but for some reason the conversation stops there & if it does continue it only does so if I pick it up again, if I reach out, if I do the work, otherwise it doesn't continue. I struggle to build meaningful friendships, but I appreciate your advise & am praying that things will develop differently in 2024.
