but i was close! i had these grand ideas of reconnecting with lost friends and family. somehow, though, life just had a tendency to roll over me. delightfully so, with trips and festivals and hiking and theater and this and that and the other (guess i ran out of commas and had to use "and").
still, comma, i made pretty good progress. not to any great depth of reconnection. i've not found myself spending hours a day conversing with long lost family and friends. but, i have reached out and chatted...by e-mail or voicemail. my goal was 30 people. if i count some folks i will reconnect with on a scuba adventure i leave for in...CRAP!...7 hours from now (and not in the least sleepy!)...then i will surely get close to my goal of 30 reconnects.
i've been joining along with daisyfae in doing the pushup thing, with success, though not in Arnold Schwarnegger-ian proportions. i've also been cognizant of, if not strictly keeping to, my old goal of an earlier bedtime and a 7 hour sleep. next 30 days? no clue.
and an apology for dropping off the grid and not supporting my fellow 30-day-ers. i know i appreciate your bon mots and optimistic support.
but, must toddle off for now. that OCD fifth repacking of the suitcase is in order...

It sounds like success to me, regardless of the actual number of people (or blog posts). It actually seems like it would be a little challenging to really reconnect with a lot of people in a matter of weeks.
e4 is right. I've been through the "hello, stranger!" a few times and it's never been easy.
That said, I've told an old friend she may give my email/postal address to 3 old school mates with whom she has re-connected.
Picky point: how does OCD work with scuba checks?
Scuba time, nice!
Given that you've essentially undertaken two challenges, I'd say you're doing great!
Hope the scuba trip is going well!
