So many people to connect with!
What a blessing that is!
My favorite part of the Christmas season is hearing from everyone. Whether it is by Christmas card, or email, telephone, or in person, this time of the year makes me feel so much closer to the individuals that make up this huge family we call humans!
I have spent a good part of today on the telephone and there is more to come. I can’t imagine what it was like when people set off on sailing ships, or covered wagons and never spoke to their families again, or had long years in between communications.
Our bodies may be scattered around the world, but our hearts and voices, or at least pictures and words, are often only seconds apart.
I almost never meet a real live human being that I don’t relate to in some way, so I have to believe that the closer we all become, the more real we will all seem to each other and that is the secret.
Grandma and Aunt Mary may get on our nerves after a week of visiting in one small house. Uncle George may be so gruff we avoid him like the plague, but we would never think of bombing these people. They are family!
It’s time to extend that family.
