Seeing old friends good for the soul

I recently spent an evening with a couple of friends that I don't get to see nearly enough. It reminded me how important friendship is, and that we all need to do a better job of staying in touch with our friends.

We all have busy lives. The most convenient form of communication these days seems to be e-mail. However, that is no substitute for sitting down with somebody and chewing the fat over what is going on in their lives.

So, here is a personal challenge. Think of somebody you haven't seen in a while and give them a call. Set up a time to meet with them and reminisce about old times while discussing what is going on in their lives now.

I guarantee it will be a great experience.
