Old and New
Last night I headed north for a weekend in North Carolina with friends - “old” friends, and new friends. A friend from high school, her new husband, and a couple of more folks…and a weekend of hanging out, catching up, and relaxing. (Incidentally, it is the same friend whose wedding I was trying to get to when this happened.)
But all the catching up has gotten me thinking. I’m really very bad at keeping up with people, the people that God has brought into my life to bless and enrich it. I’ve moved a lot, leaving a trail of memories, but not always keeping up with the people that share those common memories.
I regret that, but I’m not quite sure how to fix it. The Internet is a great tool, and I’ve enjoyed my limited foray into social networking, and of course my attempt at blogging, as a tool to keep in some semblance of touch with friends both old and new. But even that limited foray is time consuming, and time is something that I simply don’t have a lot of.
Is anyone good at keeping in touch? How do you do it?
