Never wait! I unconsciously do it all the time, I either put things off or postpone to do things. Not even big things, I will text after, I will give a quick call, set up a visit, arrange a get together. I am not talking about procrastination, just regular maintaining relationships. Someone can be on my mind all day at work and then when I get home they drop off my radar and pop in again when I’m driving or getting supper on the table and my favorite, 3 AM. These are my nearest and dearests, I truly just go blank on it. Maybe I truly am getting forgetful, priority people should not just float away from your inner prompt!
It is kind of embarrassing when you go to message someone and the last time you spoke was New Years or their last birthday! I am trying to be more of a now person, like right now. Or when you open a message and see that you haven’t even responded to something, you saw it, maybe even wrote a response, but haven’t even sent it back. Sounds awful but I am sure I am not the only one. It is kind of the curse of the internet. You are on all the time, but not available, making it seem like it was intended as some kind of neglect. For me, not at all.. it just gets lost or I do!
I guess that is why I check in on so many people in the summer. Some people have their messages delete after 30 days, mine delete, when I delete them. Good thing, because I always find the unfinished conversations, attempted plans, started adventures that need a follow up. If you are waiting on me, it does happen, eventually!
