LOVE this! I've developed a whole new respect for IRL connections. I'm a new subscriber, but this is my step-up goal this year. To push myself to reach out more and connect with people in my day-to-day life. The thing is, I'm always a bit tired and have stuff to do. So I tell myself, if it's always that way, then I can't use it as an excuse. Don't overthink. Just do it. 

Right now I'm trying to maintain a friendship with another mom friend. The thing is, our kids aren't friends anymore. Kind of awkward. In the past, I would've just moved on. As I get older, I know I shouldn't take friendships for granted. Because they're hard to come by.

And anyways, a little awkwardness isn't that bad.

Just a note of encouragement to stick with it! Two of my closest friends now are moms I met when my oldest was in preschool. The kids are 16 now and haven’t been friends in, oh, 10 years :) but the mom friendships stuck.
