New friends?

I sit here, with the roar of conversation all around, these are my husbands friends not (yet) mine.

Discussions of many things take place, again proving that (just about) everyone has something worth listening to if you take the time. The ride, the accident,the purchase of new bikes, and the planned weekend away are all examined over the first cups of coffee.

As the breakfast continues the noise reduces to a pleasant hum and the topics shift to the more intimate ones of marriage, relationships, children and friends. These conversations take place quietly, generally with kindness and sympathy.

I am glad that I made the effort to be here today.
