Social

I think that as a society our idea of "social" is taking a downward spiral. I left social media with the idea that I will be more physically social with the people I have. Last night I had dinner with an old friend. This evening, I was invited to a dress rehearsal for the symphony so I invited a friend who works for a local tv station and has been hooking me up with free events for years. He was so grateful and spending the evening with him was wonderful.

Today I connected with 5 friends. I think that's a damn good start. Yesterday I connected with 1, but then texted 2 others and made dinner plans for next week and yoga plans for this weekend. I already feel more socially connected, while being "socially disconnected."

Here's where it gets tricky. I like to be alone. I'm afraid that keeping all of these connections is going to run me out of me time. I can't forget that connecting with myself is the most important connection I can make.
