HM: Connecting
February 28, 2009
Today I was inspired to journal my HMs again. Thank you JsZ.
As I was explaining the ‘why’ of the process og tracking my HMs, it dawned on me that maybe I could use a solid dose of positivity in my life. So here it is, my HM for the day – its about connecting.
Since moving here I have often been heard bemoaning the lack of personal connection. I have found people guarded and disinclined to accept a friendly advance, let alone offer one. Today though I ventured into a tea shop that I had been in about 6 weeks earlier and the same woman was there. I recognized her and reminded her that we had discussed a book but that I couldn’t recall which one. Her face lit up and she nearly shrieked “Yes! The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo!” We both sort of lit up and shared a really nice moment of connecting in a sea of commerce and general impersonality. We talked about the plot twists and discussed whether or not the ending worked for us. It was a brief but affirming moment.
Other HMs of the day include several hours in the (connecting) company of an intelligent, creative (and it needs to be said embarrassingly generous) man and walks in the chilly sunshine.
