I Resolve...



(above) Megan and Riley

I have an odd way of thinking about friendship. I don't necessarily have to be in contact with someone to feel as if we're connected. My mind somehow translates "I really need to call Mary" into "I called Mary", and so months or even years pass can pass without me talking to my dearest friends. Sometimes this is a good thing, because many of my friends live far away, and it would be impossible to see them on a regular basis. Overall, however, it's a bad thing because it plays as complacency or taking them for granted, when nothing could be farther from the truth. It hit me when I arrived at Megan's house for dinner last night, and realized we hadn't actually talked (beyond a line or two via email or Facebook) for over a year. That shit don't play. So as a belated New Year's Resolution I offer this sincere promise to be better about staying in touch with friends and family.

I certainly understand and share those sentiments, John. Re the act of making such a resolution, I just discovered this site the other day (via a total stranger's blog) and am thinking of actually trying it myself. (That is, I resolve to think about trying it.)
