Telephones and Heartbeats

I am very happy today since I am continuing to hear stories of people with ultra busy lives still taking the time to reconnect with their family and friends at Christmastime.

I know it can be difficult as many families and friends are splintered across the world (mine included). But with the miracle of the telephone in just a few minutes I can rekindle the connection that has been stretched over the year. It must be the Irish in me but I sure love to chat with friends and family. I am eternally grateful for the invention of the telephone. Thank you Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edision and all who contributed to
its creation.

It is also wonderful to see family and friend gathered together because we all know deep inside that when we stop reaching out to connect we feel a little lost like nomads wandering around wondering what life is all about.

If you cannot be close to family and friends at this time for what ever reason please let me share an idea I thought up to help you still feel connected:

Take the time today before you move to your next email and close your eyes. Put your hand on your heart and listen to the beating of your life. As you do this send a thought of best wishes to those you cannot be with and let it resonate from within you. Indeed the sound of our heart is a sound that connects all of us – in this sound we are all together as family.

To you with respect as to whatever way you celebrate this time of
year.

Merry Christmas and all the best to you,

Your friend on the journey,

David
