Reuniting With Old Friends
My wife and I both reunited with old friends this week.
In my case, I have been knowing this particular friend for close to 20 years now and we sometimes lose touch for long periods of time. His parents lived in two different states, so when we were growing up, he was always going back and forth between his parent’s houses. After we finished high school and then college, we both moved away and haven’t done a very good job of staying in touch with each other.
One thing that I have always enjoyed about this friend is that even after not speaking to each other for long periods of time, once we do get back in touch with each other, we can pick up right where we left off. There is no weirdness or grudges, we just continue on as if we had been in touch the whole time.
With the technology available in communications today, there really is no reason to not stay in touch with your family and friends. Life is so much better when you surround yourself with great people that you enjoy. Plus, it is always great to reunite with old friends.
Homework:
Call,email or text at least 3 old friends or family members today. It only takes a second and you will make their day. Here is an example of a quick message you can send:
Hey [name],
I’m just writing to say hello. Hope all is well!
[your name]
As an added bonus, my friend is currently living in Tampa, FL and I am going there in two weeks, so we’ll get to hang out.
