Can a third space be a football game?

I had a bunch of family over for a birthday party and we got talking about football games and tailgate parties. My daughter has had season tickets for what seems like forever to the Bills game.


One thing she always does is goes to a specific spot to tailgate. She leaves for this place 5 hours before the game.



She meets the people that sit around her and they all bring food and drinks to share before and after the game. It is her third space and it occurs 10 times a year at from August to January.


What else can be a third space? Maybe it’s a group of friends you join at the country club or golf club on weekly basis to play 18 holes. Maybe it’s other people who have their boats at the same marina year after year.


You share special spots where you all dock for the night and party on the lake. How about a photography club where you share what pictures you have taken and new techniques that have been developed.


A genealogy club and research projects that you have undertaken. Maybe even a woodworking club where you can show off your projects and find new ones to undertake.


The locations are endless and the groups can be exclusive or open. Develop them, cultivate them and enjoy the fellowship they will provide you with. When you retire these groups will provide you the companionship and purpose you need to make the most of your time.

 

If you have struggled with this question and others then go to Patterson2Y2R,com/blog should be a place you should visit to share your stories and challenges.
