keep in touch with close friends

I would have to say, I have cut down on what I consider close friends… My best girlfriend (who was my matron of honor) I talk to at least every other week and my other girl friend, Amy, I touch base with at least once a month… she’s recently pregnant and I want to see how she’s doing. I know that I probably would have more close friends if I made more of an effort but it’s hard if they don’t. I do need to go out to dinner with a couple of my girlfriends here in town… maybe later this week…

I don’t know why I have such a hard time making time to call a friend, send an email or a letter… It seems dumb to have this as a goal- if they are good friends, it really should be a no brainer to give a call & check up on them. I have to admit, the best friends I have are the ones that call me… Is that bad? I think I’m going to try to send a letter once a month to a new friend & keep track of it. I really don’t like sitting on the phone. I do like getting mail- perhap, my friends would like that too!

I have to admit, even friends that live 2 miles away, I hardly ever see. Why is that? Have I made my life that busy that I can’t take time to spend quality time with friends.? For local friends, I would like to start having a monthly get together. The girls all think it’s a great idea and they are willing to take turns- but it’s up to me to get it started! One of these days…

I just recently printed about my pictures and when I did that I made doubles. I sent a bunch of ‘picture postcards’ to everyone that I had pics of. I hope it put a smile on their faces.
