I have met a neighbor I didn't know as she worked as a long distance trucker. Her partner recently died and she stopped trucking for a time. She has begun to talk to me as I pass by with my dog and invited me walking.
This woman told me her social skills were awful and she was in mourning. I found that sort of honesty irresistible and took her up on her offer.
She is a lovely person, forthright and upfront. Another neighbor said she was so glad I was befriending this person as she knew she was grieving and she was "too scared" to walk with her. Sigh.
I could make a list of how much I enjoy our walks. i am so glad she reached out and I answered.
