Proverbs 27:9 (MSG)<br /><br />One of the deepest needs we have in life is the need to be understood. We all desperately need to feel that somebody can feel what we're feeling and understand what we're thinking. We all need people who connect with us. <br /><br />A study by the California Department of Health Mental found that if you're disconnected from other people -<br /><br />You're two-to-three times more likely to die an early death;<br />You're four times more likely to suffer from emotional burnout; <br />You're five times more likely to suffer clinical depression, and;<br />You're ten times more likely to be hospitalized for an emotional or mental disorder.<br />We need human connections for physical, emotional, spiritual health. We need people who understand us, who relate to us and who can connect to us. <br /><br />Learning how to connect with people on a heart-to-heart, soul-to-soul level is one of life's most important skills. Unfortunately, nobody ever teaches us how to do this. You learn science and geography, history and math in school, but nobody teaches you how to connect with people. You may be brilliant in some subject, but if you don't know how to connect with people, you're still not going to go very far in life. <br /><br />My purpose driven life devotional for today. Thought about you. So thankful to our Maker for teaching us how to connect with others by giving us each other! Love you tons.<br />-fleaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31816071.post-78138606321253770582010-02-22T07:10:48.266+08:002010-02-22T07:10:48.266+08:00We go together like ramma lamma lamma ka dinga da ...We go together like ramma lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong<br />Remembered forever as shoo-bop sha whada whadda yippidy boom da boom<br />Chang chang changity chang shoo bop that's the way it should be<br />Waooo Yeah<br /><br />hahaha girl you ain't gettin' rid of me. We might not talk for a few weeks just 'cause life get's busy, but we will always catch up some way some how!! And if I am ever overseas with no signal we will just go back to the way Aunt Lottie did it with a pen and paper. We were most importantly made for worship, but were also made for fellowship. I carry your burdens you carry mine. Trust me... it's Biblical! haha<br />Love you always and forever-<br />fleaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31816071.post-34208292068057524242010-02-20T21:24:29.072+08:002010-02-20T21:24:29.072+08:00TOTALLY like what your mom said!

Friends will come into your life, and go out of your life, but there are special relationships that time and distance cannot diminish. You didn't say in your blog how I lost touch with my friends for almost 20 years, but when we reunited the things that made us friends in 1965 were still the important things. Don't let go of anyone! If you don't remain as close as you once were, geographically or emotionally, you still have a shared space in time that your memory will make a treasure. I love you so much! You are such an eloquent woman.

I'm not nearly as far away as you are of course, but I wondered these same things when I moved to KY (I've got that old song "Welcome to Delaware" from Watermark in my head). And sure enough, the real friendships stuck, and the others had their seasons and their times of moving on. <br /><br />I cherish you, love you and the fam dearly, and can't wait until we can chat again very soon :)GloryandGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11700428736344317474noreply@blogger.com
