dyism wk of 3.19.2012

There are few people who attempt to be selfless and actively pay attention to others on a regular basis. I have had the pleasure the last few months to catch up with my friends/family and hear what's going on in their lives. In the past for whatever reason I haven't truly been able to enjoy their engagements, marriages, pregnancy announcements, promotions, new relationships and general updates.

I'm a firm believer that life and people will pass you by if you allow this by your own neglect. And that's what happened - I missed some of the moments and conversations that were pivotal. In the last month even though there were plenty of joyous updates as mentioned, I also was informed of friends on unemployment, impending lay-offs, underemployed, break-ups, a number of friends entering rehab, ailments, and a variety of issues that test character. All of this reminded me that nothing and no one should be taken for granted.

dyism:
We're all a step/day away from walking out the door of someone's life because they don't appear to care.
