Old Friends

I heard from an old friend today thanks to Facebook. I was apprehensive about joining it, but it has turned out to be a lot of fun. I have re-connected with people I haven't seen in years. The person who contacted me today was an old roomate, adventure pal, and bridesmaid. I'm really glad she sent me an e-mail. When I go back home, I'll have to look her up.

It's so easy to lose track of friends, especially if you move away. You have to make a concerted effort to keep in touch. Our lives get so busy that we don't take the time needed to drop a few lines and say Hi. Even with the ease of e-mail, we don't keep up like we should. Of course, the older we get, the more people we know so it becomes more difficult to stay involved in everyone's lives.

Yet, it's worth the effort. Those who are ture friends will hang in there. The relationships take up right where they're left off, even if it isn't often that you communicate.

Having my friend contact me just made my day!
