Keep in better touch with friends and family.

I just learned from a friend that a mutual pal of ours is having a hard time. Soooo, I’m currently formulating a little pick me up for her. This may take the form of flowers that I can bring to her job. Maybe, I’ll make her a date in a box that includes all of the ingrediants for a delicious dinner—all she and her husband will have to do is throw it all together.

I have amassed four thousand rollover minutes in the last year, so it’s pretty clear that I need to work harder on this goal. It’s also harder than I thought it would be. I figured that I would just call friends and pick up where we left off, but it’s not working out that way. My life is still in limbo because of health reasons and my lack of regular employment, which has made me pretty depressed. Depressed and quiet. This isn’t good for friendships, I know, but I’m making an effort.

Today, I’m meeting with a friend at a local coffee shop and I’ll ask her to keep on me about staying in touch because it’s obvious that I need help with this right now.

I haven’t heard back from him, so I really don’t know the status of the relationship right now. We’ll see what happens.

I answered an e-mail from my cousin, which will, in turn, renew the friendship. I hope!

I called a contact at an employment agency to help a friend of mine get a better job. She wasn’t availabe when I called to tell her about it, so I left a message. I really hope my contact can help.

I set a reminder for this, but I really haven’t followed through enough to consider it a realized goal.

I haven’t been particularly good about keeping in touch, lately. Even with the cell phone, computer, and snail mail, I’ve been managing to isolate myself pretty securely. Now, it’s getting to the point that I’m receiving fewer calls and e-mails because everyone knows I’m probably not going to put forth enough effort to maintain the correspondence (and friendships).

I really need to dissolve this rut because it’s really getting out of hand. The friendships I have are pared down to the healthiest realtionships I could possibly have, but letting them go dormant could cause me to lose them all.
