Ru ~ dig deeper glitter in her wake...

keep in better touch with friends & family (read all 10 entries…)
Too many goodbyes 7 months ago

Although I’ve seeing a lot of friends and family lately, I’m feeling a heavy descent after finding out that 3 of my core girlfriends are leaving town. One took off for Australia yesterday (she met a man), one leaves for Winnipeg later in the month (she found a job), and a third is going home to Newfoundland after decades here in Vancouver.

It’s a bit selfish on my part, I know, but it’s really dragging me down. There are numerous people I lost regular touch with when I entered mommy-land, and I cherish the ones I still see frequently. It’s also coming up on the second anniversary of Paul’s death, which remains painful.

I think I should organize something like a tea party or clothing swap so I can re-connect with some of the friends I haven’t seen in a while. And make sure the ones I still have here in town know how much they mean to me, even if I don’t call/get out as often as I used to.



Comments:

Don’t feel selfish, I can understand it is hard if three of your best friends move away, far away :(. It is more difficult to maintain friendships if you can’t really see eachother often. Things like that would drag me down too! Especially when they seem to move away all at the same time.

Organizing something seems like a good idea! Things like this make you realize how important your friends are.

Distance

That’s hard that all 3 are moving but be grateful for the technology available to keep in touch. Whether it’s something like Facebook, UTube, texting or “old fashioned” email (and it is old hat now), you can reach out any time. But definitely have a tea party!

?!

I did NOT check this goal off… it just magically appeared on my “done this” list. WTF? Now I can’t seem to get it back to its rightful place. I think the site goblins are drunk.

You used to be able to re-add completed goals to your list.

Edit: Got it! Retyped/re-added. Never mind. Now where’s that pesky tax goal…

I can't explain the magic trick

but here’s how to get it back on your list. Copy and paste the name of the goal into the slot where you would normally type the name of a new goal. You will get a prompt asking if you want to add it back to your list. Just click on “yes” and it’s done!

SlayneB happy Yule and all holidays to everyone!

boy I understand

I live in South Florida, land of the transients. So many of my friends have moved away, and others are talking of doing so. My closest friend is now in California. It’s not easy to make real friends, and my hearts sighs a bit every time one leaves, even if I’m genuinely happy for them and their continued growth.

The good of it is that it really makes me treasure the ones who are still here, and even with school and marriage, I make sure I have time to meet them.
