Many months ago, I reflected on the growing role of social media and was astounded to find that folks like us are using it - a lot. Last week…
So what is the result of all this? Connection.
We are finding each other again. After losing the backyard fence and being suffocated by organized playgroups, we are finding each other again. After losing ourselves in wall to wall activities and community meetings, we are discovering the joy of chit-chat, the fun of swapping stories and laughing at our foibles and sharing a good joke. We are passing our vacation pictures around and sharing tips on kids, finance and where to get the best coffee in town.
Say what you will about the banality of it all, people are talking again. The chit-chat leads to sharing leads to talking about life and happiness and things that matter. It was a long dry spell there when we forgot what community is. But we are back.
As resilient as ever.
