You too do more than you may think to keep relationships going though, I know that you do.<br /><br />This post is great reminder to get involved in real life; it is so much easier to say hi on FB or visit a friend's blog. I used to be very involved with others outside my family and work, but not so much anymore.<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-45221827745272373552012-05-23T09:39:24.084-04:002012-05-23T09:39:24.084-04:00Apparently I was living in a hole last week and I ...Apparently I was living in a hole last week and I missed your news.
