"I define connection as the energy
that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they
give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength
from that relationship."
~ Brené Brown
Frequently,
when I reflect on my day, what stands out most are the generally unplanned
encounters with people that add so much to my life. I thought about this at the end of a day when
I had run into a friend at the grocery store and when my mother had
stopped by for a quick visit. Connection
is so vitally important to us and yet we don't always plan for it. However, if we are lucky, we are blessed with the chance encounter and the ensuing pleasant conversation or
the unexpected call or text from a friend just to say hello -- wonderful
surprises that each day brings. I find
myself savoring those contacts long after.
Sometimes, connection is just what we need to get us through the
day.
