What is "interesting?"

every once in a while i come across someone who is just so interesting. you know...the type of person who has so much going on in their own life, so many opinions on the world at large and such a thirst to hear all about your updates that they just don't have time to gossip about others.

only when i encounter someone like this do i realize how often the subject matter of my own conversations really is "other people's lives." whether i lead or merely partake in the conversation and no matter if the basis of the chat is positive or negative, talking about others really is boring.

i am refreshed by these "interesting" people and inspired to alter the focus of my own social interactions.

the best part of all is when that "interesting" person also happens to be a wonderful friend. i walk away feeling blessed that she keeps company with me and longing for our next visit. it's no wonder my husband considers her the "coolest" of all my friends. after all, he has some pretty incredible taste!
