Thank you, and thanks for your thoughts about friendships.

It really took, for me, the pandemic to be really aware of the "circles" of friendships that I engage in, because suddenly a HUGE section in the middle went missing. I work hard at friendships? (Although saying that reminds me that I left OUR email conversation "on read.") But, like the postcard project was started as a way to remind a bunch of people during the darkest parts of a pandemic that isn't over yet that I was thinking of them.

But, as you say, there's a natural ebb and flow to these things.
