Another festival, another wonderful chance to connect: Jeremy, PJ (So much discussed in a 3 minute ride!), Michael (Wife of Jeremy), Margo, Phylis, and Joyce; all shuttle drivers willing to chat.
Neighbors: Daryl and Karen; easygoing, open and friendly, in short perfect!
But the best? A woman who sat down next to me at the tent and started talking. I wanted a break but Karen was a talker. An incredible woman who was here alone, happy, knowledgable, and inquisitive. Better than the quiet I thought I wanted was the luck of meeting a wonderful woman who reminds many who meet her, I bet, that our lives are what we focus on, not what we don't have but all we have and can do.
Karen, a person who reminds us to love life.
