The Joy of the Accidental Exposure

While I think of today's exposures as accidental, they weren't really. I don't usually put myself in the position for unplanned exposures, since I try to control everything. But today I had two of the many social events referenced in this post. First I went on a hike with a friend with a dog. Then I went to a high school reunion picnic. I didn't wash my hands after the hike, even after brushing some dried mud off my legs. I ate picnic food. I hesitated a little, but ultimately, it felt great to eat. And I really didn't feel that stressed about it. Little by little, scary things are turning not so scary.
