keep in touch with friends and family

I always seem to think about this when it’s like 3am. XD

I don’t know why, I just find this one of the hardest things to do. It’s just not in my nature to do it. I mean, I love them, I just… I’m too much in my own world, I guess.

I think if I write letters it might be better. That way I can get everything down over an extended period of time instead of having to remember everything I want to say when they’re there to say it to (like phone or im). And then I can keep the replies forever.

I always struggle with this – the most regular contact is w my mom, but other family members are less regular, less frequent, and most of my friends it’s even worse.

I do use FB but only put general things on there – nothing terribly personal, as it goes so broad.

I’m currently going through quite a lot (cancer diagnosis this Spring, now trying to have a baby via gestational carrier) and people want to keep up w me but I don’t care to repeat it all each time. I’m thinking of putting up a blog on the topic for invited guests only.

If anyone has comments or thoughts on this (or other ways to keep in touch with people far away) I’d love to hear it. It is true that I need my support network more than ever.

i manage to do this goal every week with some friends. but i cant help but communicate with my mom almost everyday….almost hours in a day. thankts to technology that keeping in touch doesnt cost too much as before….

i love my family and value my friends but keeping in touch with them is a task…but i recently realized the value of staying connected. i get the HOME feeling when they send me emails or just anything.

The problems:

1. We are going days, weeks and months without seeing or speaking to friends and family.

2. With our jobs it is not easy to socialise, sometimes we don’t even see each other for weeks, let alone anyone else. And that is not an exaggeration.

3. Friends and family scattered around the UK and around the world, all with busy lives.

What I hope to do:

1. Make the effort to call more often – perhaps get the better phone tarif for calls before 6pm, this will help.

2. Send notecards to far away friends and family to keep them up to date.

3. Email is easy, use it more – can give everyone the link to the online photo album once that goal is up and running.

And only had a handful to mail. I have heard back from way more people via email than we ever did through snail mail. Including a cousin of mine I’ve never met.

My dad’s siblings, a bunch of cousins, and my sister are all coming into town this weekend. It will be good to see everyone.

But I really should keep in better touch with my sister, even when there aren’t family reunions on the horizon. Oh well, I am looking forward to the weekend.

I still wanna keep in touch with them. We all go to different colleges, in different states, cities. Family is all doing their own things and have their own life. I still love you all :) and think of you I need to keep in touch with you. For the sake of keeping our relationships!

I’m not quite sure what to do with this goal, whether I should give up or change it.

I would like to keep in touch with my sister more, and there are few close friends that I wish I had more time to socialize with. Overall, however, I am feeling okay with the fact that some old friends have drifted from my life. I feel like it is just life evolving and time passing.
