It is a fabulously pleasant day. Warm sun and mild breeze. Everyone is in their light jackets; pretty warm for a winter day.
I'm sitting here, waiting, and people watching. The crowd can be divided to two categories: 40% working professionals and 60% parents with their young kids. It's so fun watching the wobbly toddlers walk and moms and dads relaxing around.

I got through my meeting. My meeting companion was such a sweet lady as I knew. It was a great one hour chatting about work and our backgrounds. Like always there was this question whether I married through arranged marriage. If I went to school in Iran. If my sister who is a dentist studied abroad. If I could work in Iran.
It makes me smile with amusement answering these questions. Makes me feel grateful for the opportunity to educate yet another person about the reality of that land.
It was great meeting her. She is so bright and positive and with high energy. Loved her insights and grateful for her time. When I told her I was feeling bad of taking her precious time while I knew it was all for me she responded that she was paying back.

Well thanks! I didn't think about it like that but you are right, it is great to have great people around to connect with.
