Friends

Over the past month we have reconnected with some friends that were special to us at one time. Our lives lead us in different directions and ultimately different states and we lost touch with each other. It was great to find out that they are doing so well. Just last night a friend of mine that I met here our first year in Pearland but has since returned to Canada called to catch up and say she is coming for a visit next week and would like to get together. Today at work I thought about a great person I worked with in College Station but haven't talked to in years. Naturally, I googled her this evening and discovered she has done great things since I last saw her but I didn't stay in touch to find out. You are probably thinking okay that's nice but why are you writing about this. The reason I am stuck on this issue is that I frequently complain to Chad that I need some friends. I often feel like I am the friendliest person that doesn't have any friends. I am realizing now that I do have friends but I need to make more of an effort to stay in touch with them and keep the relationship going. Yes, we are all busy being moms, dads, coaches, PAs, whatever it is we do but sometimes it is nice to enjoy the company of friends. Chad is definetely my best friend but let's face it, he does not want to go see a chick flick with me. I am committing myself to being a better friend and keeping myself open to making new friends.
