Gratitude list PLUS a regular list
It is very important to have connection with your soul and open your heart to people. - Ludocivco Einaudi
I am grateful for connection.
Many years ago I wondered what the meaning of life was. For a while I joked that it was 42 (For those who are familiar with Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy..and if you aren't - go read it ).
Later I read a book that floated another great idea: that Life is really about Connection. I have come to believe that it is. But connecting to others is hard.
I am grateful for connection because...
1. It is nourishing.
We are built to connect with other people. We needed to connect to survive and we still do.
2. It makes you happy

5. It is good for your health
It's good for your health. Not connecting to others is almost as bad as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.
