How Outgoing Are You???

[Widows Son]

Recent threads have made me think about how engaging people are with strangers. Was recently on vacation with the family. Was going to our favorite diner for breakfast. Had a family approaching on the sidewalk, one of the kids had an Indians baseball cap on. Started talking to the Dad, come to find out we live in the same city appx 500 miles away. They were attending a wedding at a nearby resort. The bride and groom live about five minutes from me. Made small talk and wished them well. Recommended some places for them to visit while they were in town.

Another time I was in a city park watching my 6 year old son on the playground. Another Dad was doing the same with his son. Started talking and it turns out that he had just moved there from Michigan. Turns out that we share many interests, including Freemasonry. He now visits my Lodge and we're becoming friends.

So, how outgoing are you????
