How cool is it when someone, from pretty much out of nowhere, plops it into conversation that they're just stoked to hear from you, and that what you're doing matters to them just because it's *you*?!!?
I know that's a lot of exclamation marks, but it just feels good. You know, warm in the cold places and a little tingly around the mouth.
Mattering to someone else is a great feeling. It makes a big difference about facing all those humdrum hurdles in a day. It's also - strangely - easy to forget how much we do matter to people who know us, who love us, who watch us but may not ever say it. Why are human beings built in with such a sense of taking-for-grantedness? I'm sure there's a word somewhere for this part of human nature (if you know it, or would like to suggest one, please post!) or even a word for just getting bogged up with the crap we have to wade through (day job anybody) and lose sight of all the yummy things. Leading of course to that other dreaded scourge, the tacky chain mail letter....
I digress.
Back on message, back on message. Oh Yeah.
Mattering Matters.
Ask any quantum physicist.

maybe our day to day living has imbued us with this taking-it-for-grantedness.
maybe we're conditioned, now, to take most daily good things for granted because we're all bogged down (or up) with the crap of living in a largely unreal world of day jobs and material things.
maybe if we were allowed to be free from "modernity" we'd stop being the inert thankless asses we've become.
or maybe i'm just bogged.
