Staying in touch with old friends is important. I recently ran across an old friend of mine from high school (which is so many years ago it is almost unbelievable)! Not only did I run across my best friend during high school, but 5 other friends I have not seen in about 25 years. The internet makes all of this possible. And another amazing thing about it is that we start right back almost where we left off -- give or take X number of years that is.

We all have the same thing in common. We love our families. We care deeply about our friends. We miss seeing each other, but are so thankful for the internet to stay in touch daily if we would so choose to do that. We may have difficulties in this life, but the blessings far outweigh the things in life that tend to weigh us down.

Reaching out to those we care deeply for is rewarding. Listening and learning of someone else's family, work, interests makes our life richer by far.

Life is just far too short not to take the time to rekindle our friendships. It is so rewarding.
