life

One of my greatest joys in life is people....being with people, loving people, serving people, listening to people, etc. If you know me, you know that I thoroughly enjoy watching people. Some people call this staring but I just call it "people watching". I can usually find someone to watch everywhere I go. I sit and wonder where they came from, why did they choose this place and not next door, what kind of car do they drive, etc. I am intrigued by people and the stories they have to tell. I think this is one explanation for why I follow so many blogs on a daily basis. Over half the blogs I read are written my complete strangers that I've come to call "friends".

Instead of watching people so often, I want to get the courage to go up and speak to them. I enjoy talking to people almost as much as I enjoy watching people. I am going to challenge myself to speak up instead of just watching because I would much rather know their story as opposed to just wondering about their story.
