Relationships

How many good friends do you have?  How many relationships did you have that simply don't exist anymore?  I ask because I think we've all been in the position where we look around us and all of the sudden someone who used to be so present in our lives, isn't there any longer.  We may have lost touch.  They may have moved away.  Perhaps they got into a relationship and now they are far too busy with their new life.

When it happens it is sad- unless it's not.  Sometimes, you may not even notice until it is too late and irreparable damage is done.  Then again, according to studies, we only have a fixed amount of capacity to manage the number of relationships in our life.  That number is 150.  So you either trim the fat and get rid of some of that excess baggage in your life, or you step it up and realize you have the capacity to serve the relationships you have better than you are.
