One of my many highlights of the weekend was the moment a friend read the text I'd sent saying I was sat at 7 o clock, i.e. behind him to the left. He swivelled round and I sprang up and waved. It had been nearly 20 years since we'd last seen each other. The power of facebook meant he had recognised that my choir were going so he'd messaged me to see if I'd be there and we exchanged mobile numbers. I wonder if I'd have spotted him if I hadn't known to look for him?
The scheduling meant I didn't see him in his choir and he didn't see me in mine. A delay in my gathering with everyone else for the mass choir meant I inadvertently ended up with the basses (despite not being a bass for that song, that was later in the weekend!) and it meant I got a few more minutes to chat. A happy happenstance.
This saturday I shall be seeing my longest standing friend. It's her daughter's engagement party, she has meant a lot to me since before she was a twinkle in their eye or however that phrase goes.
Friends are my lifeblood :D I think there is an oxytocin link, we are more open to new friendships and more successful in the relationships we form when there is plenty of oxytocin - I suspect I have a lot of oxytocin :D I'm loving the book and will write up about it when I've read a bit more but i think the world needs more of it :D
