A few weeks ago, we drove through the tiny town of Lenoxdale, MA. Through winding roads, we passed the local deli, a few small stores and then passed a water treatment plant.
It made me think about the infrastructure that supports our lives. Every town features a first aid squad, police and fire departments, and other necessities that often escape our thoughts. But they’re there, nonetheless.
We have our own infrastructure that lies beneath the surface of our awareness. For example, where and how we live, the foods we eat, the ways we exercise and even how we manage our finances. There is another aspect of those pieces of our lives that we might not consider—and that is the relationships that support us.
Like pot-holed roads and crumbling bridges, we must focus on what needs to be repaired, replaced, or otherwise reinvigorated. Good relationships are key to our well-being, and we can’t afford to ignore their importance in our lives.
