Dear reader,
I am now an official member of the National Federation of Women's Institute. My card welcome letter came through the post. I am really excited and hope that I can make use of the membership by attending courses and local meetings.
It's strange but as you get older it is harder and more difficult to get to know new people. I have always enjoyed the company of others and am genuinely interested in people, their culture, backgrounds, family life, luxury life, hard working life, leisurely life. We all come from different walks of life and yet we seem to be striving for more or less the same thing, which is fulfilment and inner peace to some extent. We all want to fit in, either by a way of joining in or just to be accepted for who we are.
I thought by joining my local WI I will get to know some familiar faces and and share my story with. It feels good to have a purpose and a little push to get out of that comfort zone and make yourself known. And maybe there is someone out there who feels just like me.....I want to get to know more people and I would like to make a difference. May it be in the community or to make a difference in someones life by offering a friendship. I understand one gets on better with others while with some you only may meet up for this, that and the other and some, you just cross paths when you need to. But it still intrigues me as and when this all happens and it feels almost as if it has a purpose in just 'being' there at a particular point in time.
Do I make any sense at all? Some days I feel I have totally lost the plot. Other days I am on the right track and other days, you just ride along and see what happens.
So how has your day been? I genuinely want to know and would love to hear your story!
Best wishes and lots of love, Ann
