I am trying to fade and have been getting some comments re my lack of meetings and asked if I am alright. It makes me feel very uncomfortable having to make up excuses. You are right because I don't have to give them reasons! I will adopt a new strategy from now on!
Glad I could help. If they ask if you are all right simply say - yes, doing great - how was your day today. You'll get some strange looks (like how in the world can you be great when you haven't had your serving of spiritual food from the FDS class) - but just find them amusing in your knowledge that you are now finding the courage and strength to see what they can't. We are pounded home with the thoughts of not wanting to stumble anybody i think that carries over into what we feel we have to do/don't do in regards to meetings and field service.
You and I and so many others have the real truth now - I can only hope I stumble somebody because of my inactions - maybe if they see somebody that was as gung ho as I was not believing anymore they will ask themselves why....
