Old Friendships Are Grand

May 21, 2009 | Filed Under Small Talk 

Lately, I’ve been intentional about tracking down old friends and catching up.  Most of my life I’ve run away from intimate relationships.  I’m not sure why.   I think it has something to do with the fact that I moved around a lot as a child (about 8 times I think before I graduated high school) and was protecting myself from the hurt that resulted in separation.

For whatever reason, I found myself at the age of 30 without any really strong friendships outside of my family.   So, I’m committing this year to strengthen my network of friends both old and new.

    New friends are great too. Wisdom acquired from experience teaches to build new friendships with the intent of holding them. Yours is one I hope to hold for a very long time.
