Hi Kate. I have been meaning to tell you how much I enjoy your stories. This one in particular as I am always talking to strangers. Whenever I go to a restaurant that has a bar I always sit at the bar so I can talk to the bartender or anyone sitting next to me. I have learned so much from strangers!! Thank you for your beautiful writings.
Thank you, Rosie! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my essays. I hope you’re keeping up with your writing and photography. Aren’t we lucky to have our creative pursuits!
Like Beth, and you, Kate, I enjoy a chance conversation with a stranger. I often depart saying, “I guess we’ll be exchanging Christmas cards next year!” Such joy meeting a new face and sharing our stories.

That's me! Captain Kangaroo, or Mr. Greenjeans or no, Grandfather Clock.

I Iove bringing a smile to a random person. It takes almost no effort at all, and the effect is long-lasting.
So true, Jean! T’as raison! 😊

Oh dear Nanetto! Your kind heart fills the world! (and supports the Christmas card industry!😂)
This is such a fun and true essay. My mom always said her best conversations were in line at the grocery store!
Oh, how great is that??!!? Good ol’ mom. ❤️
