The Pen

I remember that day clearly even though it was 37 years ago- I was off on a new adventure because I had just moved into the dorm for my freshman year of college but I had no idea how my life was going to change in a very simple moment I went to the student center to pick up my schedule and register being there before classes started the next day I remember feeling nervous about not knowing anyone and being an introvert in a totally new situation is hard, but then...........the person in front of me asked if he could borrow my pen and it began.........a life long friendship just chatting and sharing our schedules and noticing we had FIVE classes together I know now that it was meant to be.... the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Dear Kathleen, Well, you took me back to college and while reading your words I thought what a beautiful testament to the power of serendipity and the lasting impact of a simple moment. The way you've captured the nervousness and anticipation of your first day at college is so relatable and memorable. Love Reading! Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
