MIDLIFE FRIENDS REACH OUT

Now, more than ever, we have opportunities to reach out to
long-ago friends - if we choose.

In the past, every decade or so, many of us attended school reunions.
It was fun to see old friends, update each other on our news, and walk down
memory lane.
Despite promises to keep in touch, most often we lost contact until the next reunion.

Social media has changed the way childhood friends reconnect.
Geography, busy schedules, family obligations, and ... er ... weight gain, do not matter.
Friends have the ability to contact each other without face-to-face meetings.
We can choose if and when to respond. Perfect!
