@ Jocelyn: Very well said. Being fully present and able to reach out and touch does indeed provide better “connection.”

Being aware of the trap of being disconnected is the first step to reconnect more deeply with other people, especially our loved ones. It’s true that we can connect with them thru the internet, but using our ‘vision’ while typing with our computers is nothing compared to using our sense of ‘touch’ as we embrace the people that matter most to us

every evening I like to watch TV for about an hour, to disconnect from work. My partner watches with me, but brings her PC to keep up with admin tasks that need done, but don’t really require much brainpower. Work means that I watch TV, she works and we don’t talk.

@ Maz: For me, the gift is in sharing and being a part of this community with you.

@ Chris: Sounds like a productive, and fun day. I got some chores over here if you have some more time. Glad you had this day to spend with your family.

@ Meredith and Rosana: Thanks for reading – love having you here.

@ Daniel: 14 straight hours of work without using the Internet – good for you! I don’t think I could have lasted that long.
