A Good Talk

This evening I went to the dance studio to pick Ava up from her classes - pretty standard. When I arrived there I greeted the other 10 or so parents in the lobby also waiting to pick up their children - also standard. A minute or so in I got to talking to one of the dads that I am good friends with. We didn't talk for very long - maybe 10 minutes or so - but it was just a really nice conversation. Not too serious, not totally dumb, but a nice few minutes of quality adult conversation with someone I respect and enjoy talking to. I left the studio in a better mood than when I had entered. Sometimes it's those brief encounters that are not life-changing in substance, but that make my day just a little bit brighter.
