Relationships seem to suffer because of our busy lifestyles. It does seem too much trouble often to plan get togethers with friends. Like you though, I usually enjoy them once I'm there. <br /><br />Thank you for your comments!Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-46724630131691895952010-01-14T20:56:32.824-05:002010-01-14T20:56:32.824-05:00Very interesting.

We have busied our lives with schedules full of to dos but relationships have fallen to the back burner. <br /><br />I know I sometimes feel exhausted and overwhelmed at the idea of making time for getting together with people. How awful. Although, to be honest, I almost always enjoy it once we're there or they're at my place. It's just we're programmed to go go go instead of cultivate community. <br /><br />Perhaps it's a regional thing. I'm not sure. I did enjoy your post though.<br /><br />I do laugh at a friend when they call and identify themself (when I recognize their voice) or laugh at myself when I pronounce who I am like my friend doesn't already know.Carmen S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03664593891754610752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-78539384130420088512010-01-13T19:21:14.338-05:002010-01-13T19:21:14.338-05:00Susie, sounds like the kind of book I'd love! ...Susie, sounds like the kind of book I'd love!
