My Happy Places
My husband said to me the other day,” I don’t think I have ever told you this, but you are extremely friendly to the people you meet. Whether it is the painter standing on a twenty-foot ladder outside our front door, or someone standing in line with you at the grocery store, you always engage and spend the extra minute chatting with them.” I thought for a second and realized that these encounters were a major source of joy in my life. I may be sharing a kind word or smile with people I meet throughout my day, but more importantly, I walk away with a smile and a feeling of the simple pleasure one feels when connecting with another person. I hope we can experience this connection through stories shared here.
