~ Hermann Hesse
Earlier
tonight, I walked into an event by myself.
I usually go to this annual dinner with my husband, but he had to attend
another event, so he was going to meet me there. Shortly after arriving at the pre-dinner
reception, I ran into a woman who is the friend of a friend -- I am not sure
that she qualifies as my friend.
Whenever I see her, she gives me a big smile and I get the sense that
she is truly happy to see me. We always
have a nice conversation. We talked for
a few minutes until we had to go into the dinner. As I reflected on the evening, my
conversation with this woman was one of the highlights and her friendly manner
made arriving at the event alone much easier than it might have been.
