I remember what it feels like to be a newbie. I see it all the time at Habitat. One of my obligations is to embrace new people. Welcome them into the fold, so to speak. Who doesn't remember at some point being the one walking into a place not knowing too many people and not really sure of yourself? Remember how comforting it was when someone smiled, said "hi" and shook your hand? Or how upsetting it was when no one did?

I try to say "hi" to people that introduce themselves. I guess I could be a little more diligent about it though. Thanks for the gentle reminder, Lil.
