And gratitude, of course, for those connections that have become so important to me.
A brief post today, just sharing a lovely paragraph from Susan Cain’s The Kindred Letters.
So by all means, enjoy your dance parties and your family reunions, your dinners out and even your team-building exercises.
But also notice the quiet ripples. Notice the way that each thought, each action, each step you take in the world, has vast and far-reaching effects that you never quite anticipated.
And notice how these ripples are forming at this very moment, in ever-widening circles, all around you.
That’s what connection truly means.

I love that excerpt!! Thank you for sharing! So often we burn through our days then wonder “where did the time go?” I surely need to be better with noticing the ripples.
Exactly! I get so sucked in to the work vortex that I will sometimes look up and think, how on earth is it THURSDAY already? (On the other hand, sometimes I look up and think, how on earth is it only MONDAY? LOL…)
That is a lovely thought, thank you!
Isn’t it, though? Her newsletters often have something in them that I want to save – whether that’s her own words, or someone else’s.
That was beautiful. And so very true.
Isn’t it, though? I read it about 3 times before sighing happily. <3
