Today's 100 words:
Today I talked to the parents of some of my son's classmates about the birthday party we're hosting for him, and I was surprised by the enthusiastic responses I received. I've been seeing these people for months now as we've dropped our children off at preschool, yet I've never had more than superficial conversations with them. But when I finally introduced myself this morning and invited them to my son's party, I couldn't believe how friendly they were and how eager to talk. I wish I would have introduced myself earlier in the year. After all, can't we all use more friends?
Yes! I'm so shy when it comes to meeting new people that it's always nice to have a reason to talk. Maybe birthday parties aren't such a bad idea after all.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I never thought I could be friends with some of these women--we seem so different--but maybe I can!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Tara! I'll pass on your happy birthday wishes to my son. I can't believe he'll be five in less than two weeks!
