Technically I have more than one. Started walking at the mall with the mall walkers. I estimate there are about a hundred regulars altogether. It's a community. And the faces become familiar quickly.
So shortly after I started, I kept noticing these two younger guys as opposed to the oldsters. Guys somewhere around my own age. And they kept waving and smiling as we pass each other on opposite sides of the mall. And then it proceeds to quick questions as we pass each other. Well who am I kidding, I never pass them. They always pass me.
A couple of weeks ago one of them walked with me and a friendship is born. It is kind of strange to meet someone and have that person ask real questions about my life. We have done the back and forth of age, occupation, kids, etc.
I think this is what comes from putting yourself out there a bit. I have a new friend at the mall.
