Christmas Ambassador Cheer

Friday evening was Christmas celebration day.  I started the evening with the Pearland Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors.  What a great group of people!  Every time I sit down with them I appreciate anew the diversity of Pearland.  They represent different business types in Pearland, come from different parts of Pearland and they all have an outgoing friendly outlook.  I sat down next to an ambassador that I have known for years and learned new things about her.  Talking is becoming a lost art.  We don't have as many face to face interactions as we used to.  Sitting and drinking coffee, a beer a cocktail at a bar...or in someone's home...it just doesn't happen any more.  We catch up with people's lives on Facebook, Instagram and follow them on Twitter.  We feel like we are connected but are we really?  I really need to be around people periodically... The laughter and spontaneity of a large group of your friends, there is nothing quite like it!
