Title: The Dodders in My Life

I have noticed that there are many people who have a tendency to wander aimlessly, like a doddering old man lost in his own thoughts. These people may be young or old, but they all have a certain charm that I find very appealing.

My favorite dodders are those who are retired and have plenty of time to wander around and explore new things. They often have a wonderful sense of humor and a zest for life that makes me feel happy just being around them. I also enjoy the way they are always curious about new things and never afraid to try something new.

Another type of dodders are those who are still active and busy, but seem to have a habit of wandering off the path every now and then. They may be lost in thought or lost in their own world, but they always seem to come back to reality with a smile on their face. I find this very endearing and it reminds me that we all need to take a break from our busy lives every now and then to just wander aimlessly and enjoy the moment.

In conclusion, I think that dodders are a beautiful part of life and they add a certain charm to our world. I hope to meet more of them and share their wonderful qualities with my own life.
