“Jennifer, do you hike? It’s about three miles in total,” one of the women asked. Three miles. I wasn’t sure how long that was, partly because I didn’t actually hike. I was somewhat familiar with the area where they planned to go, but our family had just moved from Oregon to Arizona. I wondered if hiking could be much different from walking.
After this relocation for my husband’s career, making friends was not as simple for me as it was for him. He came to the community for a full-time position at a busy university. I was enormously grateful for the ease of the transition (过渡) for my family, but nervous for myself. I wondered if and when I would also feel a sense of belonging. So, when I received a hiking invitation from the women I wanted to befriend, I accepted it.
The next day, when I arrived at the appointed place a little earlier, another three women had been standing there waiting.
“Hey, Jennifer, I’m glad you came to hike,” the woman said cheerfully and hugged me. I was already sweaty. She offered me a lightweight backpack for my water and had brought me an extra bottled water. When the others joined us, we started walking to the park. We naturally broke into two groups of two and walked rapidly along the sidewalk to the base of the mountain in North Glendale. I was a little out of breath before we even started going uphill.
“So, where did you hike in Oregon?” another woman asked.
“Well, uh, I mainly walked a lot. We lived in the suburbs, so we were in a neighborhood in southwest Portland with sidewalks, and…”
Again, the woman saved me by saying, “There are all kinds of hikes around here. Hey, let’s do this one today…” And she led us on a path that I guess was about three miles. I later learned it was one of the easier paths. We hiked and talked about our families, jobs, and dogs. We shared concerns about our kids in school with sports, grades, or significant others.
