Holiday phone calls
4 days ago
I made a point of calling several people I haven’t spoken to in a while, and wishing them (or their voicemail) a Happy Thanksgiving.

How to get better at keeping in touch with people who are important to me
It made me
happy
 "A slow process. The weekly reminder emails helped, actually."
How I did it: An email every few weeks is enough to keep in touch with old friends. Its ok if it is sporadic. I think the email reminders from this website are very handy. Now that they are going to stop, I will have to be good at replying to emails immediately, and initiating conversations too.

How I did it: At some point you just gotta let the bridges burn, and accept that it takes two to create such great distance.I’m not sweat’n it, though.There’s nothing written between the blood lines.I can’t hate um’.. We’re all only human stumbling along.. I’ve just finally outgrown the ideas in my head.My real family is scattered throughout the country, beautiful connections I’ve met in my wandering, and that love is self sustaining. We part ways, and… Read how I did it…

Holidays
3 weeks ago
One useful function of the holiday season, besides making us all spend too much money and feel guilty about all sorts of things, is that it is an automatic yearly reminder to get in touch with people we don’t necessarily talk to all the time during our daily lives. A once per year card celebrating the holiday of your choice can be enough to keep a friendship limping along when both parties are in a busy phase of life. I appreciate this about holidays now.
Keeping touch
3 weeks ago
My best bud at work got a new job and is moving a couple hours away. I’ve lost touch with so many people after high school, I really don’t want this to be the same.

Must...Do...This...

Time just slips away… and with it, the people I hold most dear. How can keeping in touch fall to the bottom of my pile of priorities time after time? I intend to turn that around!

Supper with the biologically first tier
3 months ago
Sunday night, I met up with my two sisters and my daughter for supper at a relatively new restaurant: Parrish.
Since both my parents are long dead, these are the three people biologically most closely related to me…
We all had a good time telling stories & laughing at stuff that would have had us (well, the sisters) pulling hair over a few years ago. I’m glad we’ve all mellowed and are secure enough in our individual lives so that we can laugh, rather than bicker.

with my close family, which is great. I haven’t felt this warm and “at home” like this in a long time.
I still suck at keeping in touch with my friends though. So keeping this item on my list for now :)

Why is this so hard?
3 months ago
Why is it so hard to do? I am afraid to talk to people, maybe because I don’t have confidence in myself. When family and friends call my cell phone, I hardly ever answer the phone. I wonder why? I am seeing some old friends tonight because one of them is moving. But I am even considering not going for some reason? Perhaps I have some kind of social anxiety.
