It was Saturday. My husband and I have decided to go to a Japanese restaurant.
"Ready honey; we can go! Let me just check SIMPLE a last time before we leave."
"God, it's crowded!".
"Hi!", somebody wrote.
Me: Hey! Where from?
Stranger: Washington State, you?
And the conversation lasted for almost half an hour... From one stranger another, we finally ordered a pizza and ate it while chatting. What's weird in all this is that my husband and I were happy staying home on Saturday, just chatting with people! Only then we realized we were experiencing a huge life turning.
"It's already 6pm!!!". It was my nephew's birthday and we've planned to buy a nice gift for him. So we hurried to the bus station. "Three minutes left; I think we'll be able to make it before it closes." Meanwhile we talked about SIMPLE and my vision for it... The bus came and was crowded. We had a stroller, but we had to make it anyway. And we continued our conversation about SIMPLE in the bus. Only 10 minutes later, we realized we were going in the opposite direction. So we went off the bus and went back walking. We were angry and didn't know what to do. Then we began laughing and we finally enjoyed our walk. We ended up in the next-door-supermarket searching for some suitable gift. Unexpectedly, we found a great one there! We could have done it simple from the beginning, but we were so used to complicating our lives that simple thinking was no more a reflex.
SIMPLE, the simplest way to chat!
