Appointment with an Old Friend

Today I made a tentative appointment with an old friend...seems strange to me, considering that we once shared such an easy camaraderie. Things change, times change and sometimes life is not as easy and as casual as it once used to be. I knew the fault was mine...the issues were mine, so I had to make the first move and see if we could rekindle the old friendship. It had been playing on my mind for a long time now and it already seemed a bit too late. After all 4 years was a long time and I was running out of excuses.

So, it is with some trepidation that I select a comfortable corner, sit down and open my blog. "New post"(?!) stares back at me from the screen like a hesitant hello and I know I have to take this leap of faith...I click on it and there we are...trying to reconnect, my Writing and I...!

The keypad appears on the iPad and i know there can be no second thoughts now. The first contact in many years has been made. A bit unsure, a bit awkward...but strangely familiar too. The important thing is to not let this familiarity and comfort slip out. I have now realised its value and place in my life, and I know I have to keep making an "effort". I know it may not be as easy and as free flowing as it once was, atleast not in the beginning for sure. But, like with everything else in life, the things we value have to be nurtured...we have to make time and place for them and I hope this time around I will nurture and treasure this rekindled relationship better. Hopefully, tomorrow is another day!
