“Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.” ~ Joseph Brodsky

What a great thought for this time of year! But it’s an even better thought for, let’s say May 7th or maybe even August 12th. The point being – it’s what we should do every day of the year.

Do you realize that our human connections are really all we have. Why do you think they have such as punishment as “solitary confinement”? If we didn’t need human connection to thrive then “solitary confinement” wouldn’t be that big a deal, would it?

Every single day make sure you do something special with someone human. You can’t hug your computer or your cell phone – although if you watch people while you’re out you’d think that people were married to their phones. When you’re out, try to make eye contact with people, not “ear contact” with your phone. It never surprises me that we see episodes of violence against people because the electronic dependency has successfully kept us from having to interact with people.

What can you do that shows you cherish your relationship with your friends and family. Can you call them? Can you write a card? Even an email – just say “hi, thinking of you” or something that shows you care.

The more love you give out, the more you’ll have to be grateful for and the more you’re grateful, the more you’ll receive from the Universe. So it’s a win-win situation for everyone!

Celebrate but do it with other humans!!!
