Sitting at a car dealership can be an adventure! It's a good idea to be ready to meet people of all kinds - if one is willing of course. I had to get a long service job done on my car yesterday. I brought school work, but I also brought some knitting just in case I couldn't concentrate on the more academic task. I was knitting away when an older couple came in, and a conversation started right away. The woman began by talking about knitting and crocheting, about how she hadn't knitted for many years. Her husband said he had knitted a pair of socks when he was ten years old. And so it went. We talked about knitting, trailed their journeys from Utah and Arizona to Alaska and back to Utah, of missions, temples, and their miniature dog that was with them. While we were talking others came and went and joined in the conversation where they had interest. I never had to get in an airplane or a car to have an adventure, because I had one just sitting there at the dealership. The sock that I was knitting got finished and I started on the next one.
So, next time you go to the car dealership, or the doctor's, bring a conversation piece and you will be sure to meet a lot of nice people!
Good advice! I love having the opportunity to meet new people in random ways. It IS an adventure!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great just talking to random people that you run into. I love the fact that most people never expect it. You just start with some random opener and let the conversation begin.
ReplyDeleteIf you let yourself open up to people you can make a lot of friends and get to know a lot of things you would normally not. Sounds like it was fun.
