People in an Age of Technology

I have written several blogs recently about people, technology and prioritizing. And as I've written each what I am really thinking about is the fragility of life.

In our company (we are about 120 strong) we have over the last several years lost several of our own. All otherwise young vibrant people - all to cancer - different types. Two after long battles, one a shorter one, one married with children, one a single parent and one married but had not yet had a chance to start a family. Two women and one man.

It is sad.

So today on this beautiful day, take a moment - look around the office, notice the people you work with. Smile, say hello, ask how someone is doing (and mean it). Tread a little lighter, breathe a little easier, and appreciate a little more. Maybe even offer a few words of kindness and connection. I wish you all well.
