Keep in touch

Make a vow to keep in touch with people who are important to you. It may not seem like a big deal now, but in your later years, the dissolution of personal relationships may be a really big regret. Devote a morning or an evening each week to make that one visit, meet for a coffee with that one friend or make that long-overdue phone call. Each time you touch base, you’ll be working toward the further goal of maintaining friendships. Sometimes it’s hard when you have a lot going on, but later on, when life slows down, you’ll be glad to have taken care to keep your friends close. As an added bonus, you’d be surprised what people can teach you when you spend a little time talking with them.
