Mum's the Word

I ring my mum each day just to check she is OK. Mum has been really resilient since Dad died however tonight she was having one of her down days. I asked her how she was feeling, she replied lonely. She said that she had not seen anyone this weekend and missed people, missed the conversation, missed the interaction, missed the human connection.
It made me think of Corporate life and how sometimes you just wish that you had some quiet time to think, some quiet time to plan for the future etc It made me think how valuable communication, human interaction really is for the soul.
We only value it truly when we miss it.....tomorrow, revel in the presence of people, connect with them, bring value to their lives.
Instead of wishing for that silence, see the sound as the sound of human connection....the sound of ideas...the sound of people filling your basic human need for connection. The sound of a successful business.
