Yesterday, I suggested using this Isolation time (because of the coronavirus epidemic) as a time to learn new skills.

Let’s think about something different today: reaching out in isolation.

It’s easy to lose contact with those we’ve known in the past. And losing contact isn’t always bad. Sometimes it’s a matter of changing interests or changes in what’s important in our lives.

But sometimes it’s just a matter of drifting off. And while that’s easy to happen, we live in a time when it’s easier than ever to stay in touch.

Reflect on your life: is there anyone in your life that you wish you’d stayed in touch with?

Use this time to find that person and reach out to them.

Use your enforced isolation to shore up friendships. Not just with those close, but with those that meant something in the past.

It’s very possible that they’ll mean something to you still.
