I did better with friends this month than I did with family. I'll spare the details, but just say that I met my monthly goal for friends. What's funny about the goal this month is that I didn't really behave much differently than I otherwise should -- and probably would if I were less absorbed in my own day-to-day obligations. Having this goal made me think about each friend a little bit more, and do a little follow-up that otherwise I might not have done.
As for family, that was less of a success. I did get one phone call from a family member I don't talk to that often, so I made sure to take it and make time to talk. That was lovely and unexpected. And of course there was Thanksgiving; it was spent with my dad, sisters, and the associated folks, and was a grand old time.
