The Kindness of Being Interested

"You can make more friends in two months by becoming really interested in other people, than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."
~ Bernard Meltzer

I recently returned from overseas and have had several friends express interest in what I saw and learned on my trip.  One friend called and we had a wonderful visit over the telephone as he peppered me with questions that I was happy to answer.  He later texted me to thank me for sharing my stories.  Last night, my lovely friend came over for a visit to hear about the trip.  I shared my photos as well as experiences with her.  It has been so nice to share my trip with my friends; their interest has helped me to process what I saw and heard, and is a thoughtful expression of their friendship.
