Life is Funny

I talk about making myself available, reconnecting with old friends, and making myself available if someone needs help. 

Ironically, I reached out to a friend/Co-worker from 10 years ago to say hi. It turns out they were going through a struggle. All I did was ask if they wanted to meet, grab a coffee, and talk. 

Well, they did, but due to scheduling, the only day was yesterday evening, or it would have been a month, but I talked about my friend's struggles and shared some of my own. Anyone who knows me knows I am not great at share well or ask for help enough. I have been told that is the Norwegian in me. It is why writing this is difficult for me. 

It was a small thing, and I hope it helped, it was definitely a positive experience on my end. I am hoping that I can my help my friend navigate moving forward.  

The Moral is that alot of people are going through struggles. Reach out offer an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on. Moving**Life is Funny**

I've been thinking about the importance of making myself available, reconnecting with old friends, and offering help when someone needs it. 

Recently, I reached out to a friend and former co-worker from ten years ago just to say hi. I was surprised to discover that they were going through a tough time. All I did was ask if they wanted to meet for coffee and talk.

We managed to arrange a meeting for yesterday evening, which was the only possible day due to scheduling conflicts; otherwise, we wouldn't have connected for another month. During our conversation, I learned about my friend's struggles and decided to share some of my own experiences. Anyone who knows me can attest that I'm not great at opening up or asking for help—I've been told that’s the Norwegian side of me. This is why writing this is challenging for me.

Though it was a small gesture, I hope it made a difference. It certainly felt like a positive experience for me. I aim to help my friend navigate their challenges moving forward.

The moral of the story is that many people are facing struggles. It's important to reach out, offer an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.  The worst thing that can happen is you reconnect with a friend, and have a fun evening
