Old friends

Being at Z’s bris yesterday was so meaningful to me: I have loved his mommy since I was 16 years old, and now I love his daddy, and I feel this grounded milestone of community and friendship.
Seeing everyone at the carnival yesterday

was a reminder that I want to pursue new friendships with some of the acquaintances in my community.
We had such a wonderful time.

I am so glad I’ve kept up things with J. Thank goodness she’s moved to my state!
Thank goodness I am seeing J tomorrow night.

It is the only thing keeping me sane right now.
Friendships
5 months ago
Being in the military, we move around enough and also find our friends constantly coming and new ones coming in. At our last base I made some friends early, but never “replaced” them after they left and found myself a little lonely. On top of this, I have been terrible about keeping in touch with friends who have moved on (despite Facebook, MySpace, email, etc. etc.!!) We are relatively new to this base and have made a few good friends fairly easily through our church, but they will all be leaving within the next 6 months. I definitely want to put in the effort to keep in touch well with them as well as reach out and make new friendships.
Gotta try harder.

I saw M yesterday, and I was so glad to see her- but I realized that it’s been a year since I’ve gotten together with her. Which is absolutely ridiculous. I am letting potential friends slip away- and goodness knows I need all the friends I can get!
So it’s time to make some calls and plans and get the group together again.
Don't let the time slip away!

It was so great to see I again last weekend.
It is really silly that we had let so much time pass since we had seen one another. I have to make it a priority to get together with her, as well as J and J and other people that I don’t want to let slip away.
