Gratituesday 10.31.23 - Hey Old Friend

One of my closest friends got married over the weekend. So, I after 11 years, I headed back to the west coast. It gave me a good opportunity to see some other old friends - all from my time in Atlanta. Thankfully there was a few hours each day that was not jam-packed with wedding festivities where I could catch up. I do see the groom often because he comes to the East Coast rather often. But all of the others, I had not seen them in person in over 10 years. So while my friend circle is rather small, it was a great reminder to make time and connect. Last year was all about connection for me, so I did go out of my way to schedule phone and video dates. However, this year I am a little lax.(See what I did there - LAX!) It made me realize that I need to take the time. Ah, let’s keep the reflection going. Here are my weekly list. Care to join me in sharing your own? Awesome, I’ll go first. The comment section is always open. Let’s go!
