I've got the "bad friend" blues...

So...I know I've said it before on here but I love my friends (and family) and am so grateful for the wonderful people I am so fortunate to have been my life. 

Sometimes (like lately), I feel like I suck as a friend and have been neglecting the people I care about the most. 

So many of my friends are going thru MAJOR life transitions...new babies, moves to new cities, divorce, new jobs, death, illness, graduations, performances...you name it, it's happening to the people I care about. All of these things are obviously just a part of life but I sometimes feel like I can't keep up and get to everyone to give them my support and love like they do for me. 

It seems so obvious and simple that if I value these people so much then I should be a great friend but I'm not...I let my life and my job get in the way. 

Okay...so I know I'm not a "bad friend" but I have the blues because I know I can do better and want to do better for the people who matter most to me.

So today...I am making a simple commitment to myself and the people I love to do a much better job of staying in touch and to make the time for the people that matter most to me.  

That is all...
