I had to go to a doctor's appointment this morning, and while it was nothing serious and it went fine, I still decided to treat myself on the way home and stopped in at a local bakery (they make a really good caramel latte).
While I was in line, a woman I know through the Newcomers club came over to say hi, and ask about how Mom is doing, which was really nice.
Then when she went back to her table, the woman in line behind me said, don't I know you from Newcomers, and I kind of recognized her too, and it turns out that we're going to the same event on Sunday.
More to come about that, but I just wanted to remember this little moment of belonging here, and how nice it felt.
It's a small world! I love talking to people in line and when I do, I usually find common ground---or people we know in common. I've never had a caramel latte! I'm a mocha person. :) Hope all is well with your health, even if it's nothing serious.
ReplyDeleteThat’s lovely, and I hope all is OK with health. Glad you treated yourself, look at the social treat you got out of it!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the first woman gave context for the second to be sure you were who you were. What a lovely moment. I'm so glad you got to see them, and that they got to see you.
ReplyDeleteI always treat myself to a coffee beverage when I do an adult thing like going to the doctor, the hardware store, and to the car dealership. I hope all is well with you!
ReplyDeleteOh I love that! How nice to feel like you're a known part of a community.
