It's nice to make new friends.

We get stuck in modes as we get older, I find. Modes of being, pathways, ruts; whatever you want to call them. It makes it harder to meet people and make new friends. As a result, when a new friend does come along, it's all the more precious. I appreciate the opportunity. Whether fleeting or long-term, meeting a new, kindred spirit is a gift to be cherished.
