Sunday Story…Connections

As we drift deeper into what appears to be our “new normal” your priorities may have begun to shift a bit. In the first few weeks or months of this, we all waited for things to go back to the way they were. Now, 6 months later, we seem to be faced with the inevitable conclusion that life has shifted. It takes a bit longer to get anything done. Sure, Amazon is still delivering in a day or two but often what we want is out of stock or on backorder. “Just in time” may not exist anymore. 

 It seems that personal connections may be more important than ever before. It isn’t that they weren’t important before but now we have to work at them. It isn’t as easy as it was pre-COVID. Now we have to socially distance, maybe wear a mask, and who knows what else. But the things we have to work for mean more. The fruit at the top of the tree is sweeter. 

At the end of the day it isn’t the stuff we accumulate, the possessions we have, the house, cars, or riches. The true measure is the people we connect with, the people who touch our lives, and whose lives we impact. How we do that…in person, Face Time, zoom, or whatever is less important than the connection itself. 

Go out of your way to keep, find, and increase your connections. It’s the one thing that is a constant as long as you work at it. COVID has made it so we must work for those connections. We can no longer take them for granted. 

Reach out today and touch somebody. Both of you will be grateful you did.
