Socializing

Instead of exercising our bodies, today we exercised our social skills by having a couple of neighbors over for brunch.  Need to do that now and then to keep in the loop with people.  It can become too easy not to entertain, I think, since it does take some effort. However, I think we need to connect with people even if they don't necessarily have the same interests as we do.  Sometimes we can be pleasantly surprised by people whom we have seemingly nothing in common.  Actually, the more different they are from us the more interesting and refreshing they can be.  It's like opening a book by an author we have never read and being unexpectedly delighted with its story.
