Today when I was at the farmer’s market I noticed a woman, she could have been someone’s grandmother. She sat for a long while without moving. I  approached her and said, “Hello, do you mind if I sit here.” This woman’s whole face broke into a smile. When we introduced ourselves we found we had much in common. She had traveled many years ago to my favorite city in France. We laughed and shared stories of children, churches and the weather. When her family said, “Let’s go now,” and she walked away, I realized I never learned her name. The funny thing is that I still knew I had made a friend. We shared conversation and laughter and my day was made brighter by the exchange.

Why don’t you try it? Start a conversation with someone you don’t know. Say something nice to someone you already know.  You never know what you might gain from the encounter. You might make a wonderful new friend.

Have a lovely Autumn week. These Notes from Nancy come with blessings to your family from ours.
