I remember Oprah did a show on this once and I got to thinking, it is so true.
I talk to these much older people than me at the gym. They are all of different relgions, politics, and economic situations. Well I have learned SO much just by listening to them. I love it that they allowed me "in" their coffee club. I am sure they like being listened to, they are retired, but I feel I am getting much more than they are. It is fun to get in on their bantering on different topics.
I truely miss these people when I am not at the gym for any length of time. But I feel the feeling is mutual because when I miss a day, they want to know why! Kinda feels like the Cheers sort of thing. I think I am a better person for knowing these people. People are so interesting to me, I am always wondering what others lives are like. It feels good to be liked by others and to be missed once in awhile too.
