We all know what it is like to be part of our society: lots of things on the go, and ever-more things to buy.
Threaded through most of the things we do are the people in our lives — our family, friends, work mates, service people and those driving by us.
As a former computer programmer I know how busy life can be — full of details and endless tasks. I actually lost a few years of my life to work, before I had this simple but important revelation:
People are more important than things and tasks.
While I still take joy in completing a project, I now cherish the time I get to spend on a project. The moments together have become more satisfying and important than the ultimate result.
Sharing time with others can be as long as a big project or as short as the moment at the check-out counter. Each of these people have a heart, dreams and a story that you are part of, however small.
Not every shared moment in our lives is happy, but each moment we share with others can be good.
Kindness is contagious, and working together is something we can each improve.
Let’s work together and be together.
