Have you noticed how unabashedly social children can be? They seem to make friends with ease wherever they are.
Let me set the scene... Dinner at a cozy Italian restaurant in South Beach... We are sitting inside because the air has some chill to it... We are next to one of these beautiful French doors... We don't seem to realize that there are tables on the other side of those doors until I turn around to find Sasha glued to the glass:
Turns out, there was another little girl, Chloe, dining on the other side. She and Sasha spotted one another. It was like at first site... At first, the girls were content looking at each other through the glass. Pretty quickly they realized that they could meet in person by convincing an adult to go for a walk with them. Chloe's Dad was happy to comply:
It appears Miss Sasha made a friend in Miami. BFF's, right? I think we can all learn a lesson from these two - there is something to be said for keeping your heart open to new friendships.
That is such a cute story. We as adults have to remind ourselves to keep a part of our child-like ability to trust and to keep our eyes open to life's possibilities.
