Most of us have people who pop into our minds on a regular basis that we haven’t seen in a while. When this happens, we may think things like, “I wonder what that person’s up to?” or “How are they’re doing?” When this happens, it’s a good idea to take the time to reconnect with them. It lets them know that you have been thinking about them and that you still care. Sometimes you’ll find that you have been thinking about you as well. A few years ago, I was thinking about one of my old army bunkmates. I was fortunate enough to find him on Facebook, so I sent him a message. He came back with, “I’ve always wondered what happened to you!” It turned out he lived in Philadelphia and that I would be working there in several weeks. So, we connected for lunch and he drove me to the airport. It was absolutely wonderful to catch up. So, the next time someone’s name pops into your head who you haven’t seen in a while, make it a point reach out to them. You’ll both be glad you did!
