Thirty Second Friendships

Posted on Updated on

I’m the person who waves, but I’m also the person who waves back. I just can’t help myself, especially when a young child is concerned.

Ever since I became a grandmother back in 2017, I can’t resist waving and talking to a youngster while said youngster is accompanied by their parental unit – I’m just so enamored by kiddos. Caveat: prior to attaining grandparenthood, I just couldn’t be bothered, but I am a reformed woman.

But it’s not just the youngsters with whom I engage; I can’t help but engage all age groups in friendly conversation. I crave the connection and I am shameless in my efforts to satisfy that craving.

Maybe you’re among the many who hope beyond all hope that when you encounter the stranger that is me, no conversational effort will be required on your part. Sorry to disappoint you, but if you’re in my sights, I’m reaching out to become your 30-second friend.

BE WELL. STAY WELL, Y’ALL.

    I’m afraid the younger generation don’t feel the same as we do, Irene. Waving from North Carolina! xo

      Maybe our 30 second friendship attitude will start to rub off on everyone – young and old alike. 🙂
