It’s Monday again … which means another opportunity to chase wonder together as we continue to explore the theme of gathering.
Here’s the question: After a year of far more virtual gatherings than many of us ever imagined having, what do you think are their benefits? What about their downsides? In what ways might you envision all of your online activity as a way to gather people?
I enjoy the in-person gatherings. With the virtual meetings I seem to loose my concentration and start checking to see what I need to be doing. I'm more a people person.
I think that virtual gatherings are fine when they are required by pandemic or physical distance. Otherwise, I still believe that in-person gatherings are much better. I like to look into people's eyes to gauge the true meaning of their words. I think that it's not so good for children who need to learn social skills by in-person interaction.
Nothing can compare with being together and without masks! Had my Grandsons 20 birthday at a restaurant yesterday and it was great. no one wanted to leave... we laughed and cut up until I think other people wanted to join us! I sat there and thought of how many things have changed since we were all together like that .LOTS of changes. With that being said. ..I loved seeing the small things like Smiles on peoples faces ! What a blessing. I love my family and am so blessed to be a part of . Down side was the people that were missing at the table. Thankful for what I have !
