A month of doing the right thing...

So it's August 1st. It's the start of a new month. And that means a fresh start on whatever goals you want to tackle, which always gives you the opportunity to try something new, and to improve on things from the month before. We saw that list of 30 great things to do in a month that can help you to exist at a higher level. I thought about it for a while and decided I want to write a letter/email to someone each day of the month. I think keeping in touch and not letting friendships slip away is very key. I looked back at the history of my friendships and did some self realization over the past week or so. I noted a few things that I hadn't really thought about before. Making friendships has always came easy to me, and I am blessed for that. But one thing that has been fairly reoccurring in my trials has been the fact I have built up some really strong friendships, that have slipped away over time. For no particular reason, they have just sort of slipped away. Just because a lack of communication, where one small thing that isn't discussed and sorted out, transforms into a seemingly huge issue over time. And I hate when that happens because it is so unnecessary. The amazing friendships of our youth that we spent so much time building up, seemed to sort of fade away during the college years. It is almost as if we forget that we spent basically 10 years solely interacting with a few people as soon as we depart for college. Again for no other reason than distance. I think my friends from Belmont are some of my strongest, I just don't and haven't communicated with them the most over the past few years due to college (It's a lame excuse, but it is true to some extent. I can't count how many hours we spent just hanging out playing basketball at the park, or just chillen and playing PS2 together in the grove. I will never get that time back, and I wouldn't have traded that for the world. But those times we all had growing up, and the memories we created seemed to go unnoticed during college, except from the sparingly quick visits home during various breaks, that could never seem to capture the essence of the 'good old time' . So this month I am planning on writing 31 letters to people in my life that I felt have sort of slipped away, or that I can see that happening to in the future. Because if we don't have the people in our lives to share and create memories with...what's the point of this all then??


So it's the start of a new month..so look on this list and pick something for yourself and stick to it for an entire month!
