Connected

In today's world if you are not connected you are out of luck. Face to face is almost obsolete and I am especially ashamed of myself for not trying harder to bring that back into style. Once upon a time I read an article that clinically proved that human touch could level out your heart rate plus people that had friends close to them normally proved to live longer.

Why is it SO hard to connect in real life with family and friends? My problem is that I am 100% centered around being a mother, being with immediate family, and trying to survive the chaos of keeping our house in some type of order.

My downtime is also limited because I get 1 hour or less each day alone while my child naps then at night I normally have from 10pm till 3am or whenever I can sleep to be alone, talk to my husband, get things done that I cannot do with a littleone around, and do things I just didn't get accomplished during the day. Of course I do absorb myself into doing a lot around the house and maybe I've become a homebody?!?!

Shocking if you know my personality but maybe I am a homebody? Maybe I'm so centered on my small little section of the world it is hard for me to do anything except make excuses about not catching up with friends and non immediate family members. I use to LOVE to throw parties and have people around 24/7. Even though, then I didn't follow through when I thought about someone enough to buy them or their children gifts to actually mail them out (yes I had a box of gifts for special people that I never sent - SHAME)!

This year, call it a resolution or whatever, but I'm going to make a better effort to do better!!! Here is to bringing real life interaction back even if my most seen "friend" is my iPod!!!
