This week is the meeting with old friends week.
I met with a family friend for lunch. She wants to help me get a scholarship and so we met to talk about that. We know her because one of the service dogs that we trained got placed as her service dog. While we were eating and talking a lady came up to us and told me that I have a beautiful smile. Its been a while since someone has complimented my smile - it used to happen all the time- so it was very special when  I received the compliment. Lots of warm fuzzy feelings.

For dinner I met with a Tractor Supply friend. We met at a restaurant in the town where we live, and our waitress was one of her old friends, so that put a little hamper on getting caught up on one another's lives but we did a bit and we talked about Jim. Talk to Jim too- made his night. But it also made me realize that while I like this person we don't have very much but people in common - and talking about the people in our lives can get old.

I like life better when I can talk about everything in my life- not just everyone.
