Change of Plans

So, I never did get around to trying out that new recipe last night. I called some friends to see if they wanted to join me in taste testing and instead got invited to join them in a little grillin' and chillin' with some college students at the beach. I abandoned my plans of a productive evening at home, threw on my flip flops and was off to Montrose Harbor for a lovely evening of food and new friends.
The theory is that I am getting to know these college (and just out of college) students so that I can impart to them all of my wisdom since I am SO much older than they are (and therefore so much wiser?). However, as I listened to them speak about how their small groups are going and what they have planned for the rest of the summer and the fall, I am pretty convinced that if anyone is going to be learning anything, I will be learning it from them.

Funny how that works, ain't it? I felt similarly when I volunteered at a homeless shelter in college. Always humbling when we learn important lessons from those who society deems 'should be' learning from us.
