Never a lack of things to talk about
This evening we hosted our discussion group for dinner, dessert and conversation. It was also my turn to prepare the discussion topic. Usually the person hosting doesn’t have to do the topic but somehow I volunteered for both at the same time, maybe not fully conscious of what I was doing. So tonight my topic was going to be ‘compassion for others by those in positions of authority,’ but my topic got shot down by the committee (my wife). She said I needed to pick a lighter topic. So my plan changed to be much lighter: No topic, just see where the conversation led.
I’m happy that I did that, because we had a very good conversation about crankiness, as people get older, about relationships and problems that happen in relationships with others, and about children. All of us are parents except one woman, but she was talking about her nieces and nephews and friends children. I did notice that even without a set topic we really had a great discussion and we never once lacked something to talk about.
