Skills Lost or Dormant

I have started to try and get involved in our church. I finally found a committee that works well for our schedule and is of interest to me.

I was a little surprised at how nervous I was for our first meeting. I was a little concerned about being able to interact with adults where my children were not involved. Could I still make intelligent conversation? Would I know what I was talking about?

It turned out fine. I was able to hold my own. But I need to keep practicing these skills. Because like everything, if you do not practice they go dormant until they are lost for good.
