Presently I am in California and have just finished lunch with a good friend I have not seen in ten years.
It is difficult to stay in touch sometimes and with young families it can be even more difficult regardless that we are at opposite ends of the west coast.
It always amazes me that regardless that the amount of time that has passed since our last encounter, when you are with a good, authentic friend, it feels like no time has passed at all. Within an hour we can be caught up on all the real things going on in our lives, and touch base on what is to come.
I have golden friends. They come and they stay in my heart forever. The older I get the more defined these friendships are, and the more important they are in my heart. I find that all too often we get caught up with comfortable, easy friendships that are a matter of convenience. As I embark on my return home, that I am going to allow myself to gently let go of the few convenient friendships that had been lingering around my day to day life. I need to and have some golden gems of friends that deserve my time and attention.
I am also going to commit to picking up a pen and contacting my beloveds afar by regular mail. When was the last time you got a letter from a friend? Remember how nice it feels to receive a letter by mail? I do, and I crave the basics of days gone by. I am happy to attempt to return to it even by way of snail mail.
Reach out and touch some one...
