Last night we went to a wedding. Mostly there to support the father of the bride. I generally don't like crowds. I chose to go out of my way to compliment people, make small talk and ask questions about things that mattered to them. We had a great time and left feeling very connected to a few new friends. :-)I realized that after spending so much of my time on KindSpring, it allowed me to view the situation differently. Instead of being concerned about whether I fit in or had something to say, I simply saw around me humans who could benefit from connection . . . and kindness. :-)
