Traveling!!!
Been out and about!!
And yet I've noticed.....
People are really alike no matter where you are. We enjoy being acknowledged as a person. We open up to genuine interest. Whether serving or being served, we all have a story to tell.
I've watched a mom and dad sit up a little straighter when commented to about the good behavior of their children in a restaurant. I've listened to a young person who was making a big change in her life and moving to a new country and watched her gain confidence as she spoke. I've met people who, no matter their economic status or work situation, worry about and are proud of the same things I am--their loved ones.
We are so much more alike than different. And yet we often want to see the differences. We want to think that we are not this or that. We want to know that we are doing it better that others, that we are smarter than others. But really, the fun of life is in the things that connect us. Who will you connect with today? And with who will you see no common ground?
