When you float in outer space with no one else around, it gets a little lonely and you start to miss the ground. The familiar touch of Mother Earth and friends to share the news, is the kind of isolation that can give someone the blues. But you don't have to be in space to feel alone and down; you might swim a crowded pool and still feel like you could drown. But all it takes to raise some hope that there'll be better weather, is connecting with a friendly face just like a spacesuit tether. So if you feel you're out of touch reach out to find a smile, and if your feet are on the ground then go the extra mile: find someone who's drifting off and offer them a hand, bring them back into the ship and help them safely land.
