Disconnect

Trying to get something to download and there is no connection. The frustration of knowing that this needs to be completed before you can get some sleep but there is no connection. The connection is lost, or there are no wireless signals available. This connection is so imperative to the success of the delivery that it doesn't matter that the project is ready or that it is the best blog ever created. No one will see it, or know about it because there is no connection. How important is that connection now? Think back to when you ordered that capability to be used. Did you have enough foresight to know that you would desperately need to have this item uploaded? Now look at your life, is there a lost connection? What about disconnecting on purpose to refocus? I did that this week. We disconnected from tv, Internet, iPods and pads along with any other electronic devices. We came together as a family to reconnect to one another. We played games, talked about what is going on in our lives and planned for our future vacation. It is not important to connect to the Internet. It is very important, however, to have a connection with people directly. we have so many different ways of connecting to others that we have forgotten the most important connection which is face to face. We have neglected playing outside until the mosquitos chase you in, or wanting so bad to show our friends the tricks we learned on our bicycles or new toys we got for our birthday. The lack of human interaction has deprived our children from understanding the importance of relationship. Now all we have to do is say we are in a relationship online and we don't know how to talk with this person. DISCONNECT from all devices and find that important relationship that yearns for cultivation. We must make the important connections that keep us in tune with life, not the Internet.
