Reconnecting with Friends

I recently reconnected with some friends of mine that we were all once very close friends, but with all of our busy lives and living in different cities, having kids, working etc. we have lost touch over the years. It was like old times when we connected again over dinner, thanks to some email trails that one of us started. It was great to learn about all the latest things we had each been up to and shared our pictures together. As we parted ways, everyone was sure to exchange emails/phone and I prompted us all to exchange mailing addresses too.

When I got home, I wrote each of them a little thank-you note on one of my handmade cards. I expressed how much I enjoyed our visit and how great it is to have friends like them and my high hopes to reconnect more often in the future. It didn't take me long to do and I felt good doing it.

To my pleasant surprise, I also received a thank-you note from one of them. I have enjoyed having the card on my desk to look at this past week. It reminds me of how busy life can become for all of us, and how easy it is to forget to say thanks or that "I am thinking about you". That little thank-you note brightened my day, I am planning to send some more of these thank-you notes or just because notes to hopefully make someone elses day that much nicer.
