My thanks to Arthur C. Clarke, who allowed me to come up with such a snappy title. And my apologies to my readers who have been without a new entry in over a month. When the holidays rolled around, it seemed time got tighter and tighter. This entry is going to be a short one. I really just needed something to get me back into the swing of things again.
The title refers to my main goal this year. I would like to keep in touch with my friends and family better than I have to this point. Never before in history has it been so easy to reach out to people, and yet I find myself feeling like I speak to very few people on a regular basis.
When I say I want to keep in touch, I mean beyond posting comments on Facebook pages. The three methods I would like to utilize more are phone calls, emails, and actual in person meetings. Yes I said it. I would actually like to meet with people. In particular with my family members. All but one of my cousins on the paternal side of my family live in Colorado, and it seems the only time I see them is at special occasions. I would like this to change. Of course, this holds true for my local friends as well. My plan is to try and reach out to no fewer than three people a week over the next month or so. We’ll see what happens, but I hope at least a few of those stick and turn into something consistent.
I hope I can accomplish my goal. I will put my plan into action this week since a goal without a plan is just a dream. No man is an island, but if I must be, I want to be a big island like Australia, with room for lots of people.
