This morning, my usual train ride took an unexpected turn. Amidst the crowded train, I found myself seated next to a familiar face - the woman who diligently crochets every morning before her stop. Instead of my usual routine of plugging into a podcast and immersing myself in my phone, I decided to engage differently. I struck up a conversation with her, delving into her life, family, upcoming vacation, and even picking up a few crochet tips along the way.
