Yesterday seemed to be a (slightly weird) day for reconnections, with people who've been gone for a little while or a long while popping back up again. And in once case I popped back up again. It felt a bit synchronistic in one case, like there was a narrow window for it to happen and it the timing just randomly worked out right. I suppose I'll continue the trend and email a couple people I've been meaning to for a little while now; in one case 'a little while' is weeks, in the other, years. I can't resist peer pressure, let alone when the universe itself is nudging me along. ;)
I know I tend to hold on too tight and too long, even when it is time for people to go their separate ways, and I also probably try harder to get back in touch than I should. I try to curb these reflexes and behave sensibly, but my life lately has been too much about moving apart and I'm happy for any faint signs that the pendulum might be swinging back the other way.
Yesterday also reminded me to stop and be thankful for the people who are consistently in my life, the reliable partners and friends I can always turn to for an ear or company. Thank you, all of you (you know who you are), I'm lucky to have you. :)
Did anyone else just hear from someone who'd been missing for a while, or get back in touch with someone yourself? Is there anyone you'd like to hear from or find again? I wonder if it's just me or if other people are reconnecting too.
[p.s.: Yay! for another person infected with the
Coupling virus! Muahahaha!]
