Too Busy

     Little things matter, words of encouragement, congratulations and thank you or just a simple how are you doing?  Actually these little things matter more than receiving a gift, these acknowledgements are gifts as well but not material gifts. Sometimes we are blinded by material things and forget that the real important part of life is connecting with others.  Material gifts get broken, lost or outdated but personal connections last a lifetime. Nurture your personal connections to others; it will enrich your life.

    Many of us are always busy but don't be too busy to stay in touch with family and friends.  Facebook and the other social media sites make it easy to stay in touch with people but it's more impersonal than a phone call or text.  Take a few minutes out of your day to make a more personal connection with close friends/relatives, it's easier than you might think plus it has provides great emotional benefits for each of you.

     One last thought, imagine what this world might be like if we all tried to connect with others in a positive way.  We would listen more and judge less.  "Just Saying...."
