This holiday season I began to ponder how our society is so connected, yet at the same time disconnected. Kids text friends that are right next to them. You can go online and speak to anyone, anywhere. We have cell phones tethered to us so we can be access and be accessed when we are out and about. But are we connecting to those real individuals right around us, or has this technical connection left us disconnected from the day to day world right in front of us.
So take a moment to step outside of cyberspace and say hello to your neighbor. Put down the cell phone and smile at the cashier helping you. I find that it is the little things, the simple gestures that make life great. Let’s all reconnect.
