We Should All Feel Loved: Holidays Are Over! Do YOU still feel loved?

Okay, so it came to my attention (by way of social networking) that people are pleased with themselves if they can do a couple of things...
1. Write a very sweet holiday message to all of their friends at once
2. Get together for nostalgic holiday traditions with family; or old friends will suffice
3. Make one, if not a dozen, new years resolutions (GUILTY)
4. Suggest that others do better for themselves
5. Make fun of themselves in spite of actual humiliation

I have done a few of these things myself, but have noticed that much of that happy, loving spirit has already died, and it is only 3 days in to the New Year! This can't be right. Are we really such a jaded/angry world out there? I know there are plenty of negatives in the world, but shouldn't there be an all around sense for love and compassion between people?

Okay, I am a little crazt. I guess because deep down I love people, want the best for myself and others, and honestly try not to always put myself first. What a phenomenon. Maybe it will catch on... However, I fear the opposite will happen. People will continue to distance themselves from love, honesty and true connection.

How do we become cohesive, anyway? Are we supposed to be cohesive as a human race, or is it better to show discrepency, dissonance and indifference in some cases? I probably won't find all the answers to these questions, but I think I am ok with that.

Here are a few things that make me happy for the time being- I will try to keep my holiday cheer all year round.
