Maintenance

Everything needs maintenance. Cars need repairs. Windows need washing. Engines need oiling. Birds and pets need attention. Likewise, relationships need lots of tender loving care too!  

So, here's what HB from my school reminded me, "Jean! Remember to maintain the strong relationships that you have forged here! Keep in touch with everyone! I have a school friend whom I played with when I was 10 years old, and until now, we still meet up every week for lunch!"

It's unbelievable! (at least to me). I'm not a person who's into maintaining relationships. I do meet people from time to time, but not frequently. Probably because I like to stay at home too much. haha. But it is time to change, grow up and be a responsible adult. I will not take anything for granted from now on. I will appreciate all that I have, the people in my life, every single one. I will work even harder to keep these relationships. 

I shall not burn a bridge each time I make a new one. After all, it is hard to meet those who think along the same lines as us, or to find those whose voices resonate with the pitch and tone of our lives. Jean, Jean... remember, remember.... oil those wheels and keep them running! Send a message to your friends from time to time to let them know you're thinking of them.
