get better at keeping in touch with people who are important to me

I’m your girl. Man I have been sending out cards for all occasions. I just mailed a St. Patty’s Day card to my Mom. It’s kind of cheating~I intended maybe more phone calls, but none the less, my Mom will know I am thinking about her and I told her that I love her.

I am going to lunch with a girlfriend from work who I have not seen since December. Our job together is seasonal and we so not usually see each other outside of the summer months. I know we’ll have a great time together and I am really looking forward to it.

I have marked on my calandar to call my Mom every Sunday. We live far apart and only see each other about two times per year. I have always been terrible about calling. My goal is once per week, she is 77, this is important to keep in touch. We have talked twice so far in January and I have left her a message once. I feel so good about this…and I love feeling so close to my Mom again.

I hope so, I mailed out 80 cards, both personal and business. In my way of thinking I have nailed two things-by utilizing Christmas for getting in touch, I have worked toward my goal sooner than anticipated and without procrastinating!
Also, have mailed out a birthday card to special sister in law for the first time! A little progress…

i can’t imagine why it is so hard to call people I enjoy and want to talk to. I’ve got friends I consider close, though we haven’t spoken in months and in some cases years. what is my problem?
