little versus grand

May 5, 2010 | Filed Under Consider this 

I recently spotted a box of Cinnamon Teddy Grahams at the store and thought of my friend, Kelly.

Sometimes we go in search of these grand cosmic connections, but it’s often the little things that connect us to each other. We forge relationships based on particles of commonalities: interests, personal and physical characteristics, perspectives, experiences, humor, etc.

Sharing is what truly bonds us. The irony, however, is that there is a often a sense of emotional or psychological isolation when we are more alike than not. Find a connector — a positive one. Frequently, folks build using negativity. Find the good.

There won’t always be some super deep, grand connection, but I’ve found that a string of little things can also create a strong bond.
