Connection. Meaningful conversation. For months, these life elements have been at the very top of my heaping piles of endless other thoughts…other thoughts of any mother in her late thirties, I suppose. You name it…dinner ideas, kids activities, life dreams, tackling that 10 pounds, and that constant thought of really needing to trim our dachshunds…
Surrounded by family and good friends, and after only a few many years, our good friends made it official. “You have known each other for a long, long, long time, through the first glance of acquaintance to this moment of commitment. We all know the story, you’re on an exotic cruise, Tim buys an autographed Joe Montana…
Two months. Maybe three. At LEAST two months I’ve been throwing around in my head this particular post on my blog. Sometimes, words just downpour…and other times, all I get are a few sprinkles. FINALLY, I just have to choose my route and throw this bugger together. So, today is it…here goes. Plain and simple…God…
With a little bit of time off, I jumped into a house filled with a whole lot of love for a new baby boy. What better way to spend an afternoon?
Skye, Love the idea and will definitely give it a try. Here at the Restwel we have coffee with strangers all of the time. We do enjoy getting aquatinted with our customers in this way but it’s not the same as what you are doing. Having coffee with someone you don’t know in a deliberate fashion would be so rewarding. Of course, making new friends would be an added benefit. Good luck with the experience.
Skye, you have never had a meaningful conversation at a sewing group. We know that this may be the last conversation we have with that person as we live in God’s waiting room. In hindsight, having a cup of meaningful conversation with a stranger would have made my life richer.
It appears I was drawn to your blog through others’ comments on your Oprah post to read this in order to focus my attention upon those conversations I can and should be having with friends, family, and those strangers brought into my life for a purpose I haven’t realized yet.
Thank you!
