stay in touch with my friends and relatives

It’s not easy for me to stay in touch with family and friends which leave in France while i am in Denmark. I am pretty happy here and busy also, sometimes it’s a bit heavy for me to take the time to call my parents for more than an hour, I also don’t like to be online all the time as i feel like i am slowed down in what i planned to do on the computer at that moment… I guess i need to find a way to mke those contacts shorter but more regular and more enjoyable.

Reconnected with a close friend from the past today… it’s so nice to reactivate good memories. We get so lost in our lives sometimes, in the day-to-day, that we forget about people who have meant so much to us. I’m grateful.

I joined MySpace (although I’m closing my account this weekend) anyway, I joined and found old friends from high school. Plus I’ve been in touch with my two best friends back in California and my relatives (mostly to share the good news about my new home) but in touch nontheless…

wanna lose any of the [best] friends that I have now. I have basically planned my whole life out with my two best friends who I’ve known since fifth grade. I know that this is a really ambitious goal, but I truly believe in us.

although I think I’ve got a valid reason (getting aquainted with a new city and searching for a job).

I don’t feel so bad though, because it seems I’m the only one who really writes about this goal! Which makes me think I’m not alone with my lack of progress…

Regardless, this weekend I’ll go through my phone book and give everyone in it a call.

... my family and friends this weekend.

And I mean that. For real :-)

... I spent time over the weekend sending my friends and family an e-mail with my updated contact information. As well as invitations to my upcoming graduation. (In the past when I’ve moved, I haven’t taken the time to notify friends of my new contact info. I’m hoping this will help me stay in touch with everyone).

He and his wife came to see me about a month ago (that’s when we took the above picture). They’ll be out for my graduation in June, but it would be really good if I could visit them before that time…

... the fact that I am a one or two friend person, I can move forward with this goal. It’s just I used to want to have more freiends (for some reason I always end up making friends with people who have lots of friends). I think it has something to do with growing up as an only child with parents that didn’t have friends of their own.
Anyway, I’ve been much better about keeping in touch with the two friends I do have. Unfortunately, only one of those friends (the girl on the right in the picture above) is here in LA and that friend is moving away soon…

There are a handful of people who really make my life worth living, and I haven’t seen them in 3 months. I try to keep in touch on a regular basis, but don’t always get round to it. And by now I really regret that. So, I’ll have to try harder!
