Hibernating

I realize I have been hibernating at home a bit too much lately.
 
This is my wake-up call to get into community more. Even having a brief encounter with people can be helpful. Seeing a familiar face and knowing a name is sometimes enough of a connection. At other times having more of connection is important too.  Here are some ideas for me:

• Go to a group I enjoy
• Find a new group to checkout
• Get to know cashiers names & faces
• Greet people when I am out with a smile and a cheery “hello” (I must admit this contributes to my joy)
• Connect with new and established friends

I need to take time to get out into the community although I am having a difficult time fitting it all in. I need to look at my priorities and figure out a way to do this.
 
Wow, looks like there is going to be a part 2 for this blog on priorities.
 
Have you had times you needed more community and what did you do to fill that need?
