Today’s coping tip is to make plans with a friend and catch up with them.

I decided to reach out to a friend and make time to catch up. This is someone I’ve known a long time and really appreciate in my life, but I let time get away from me and don’t always make time.

I set up a lunch and we had the chance to catch up on our lives, family, etc. It went well, though a bit short as I had some meetings in the early afternoon. We did, however, set up a second lunch to meet again in a few weeks.

I started to add a daily coping tip to the SQL Server Central newsletter and to the Community Circle, which is helping me deal with the issues in the world. I’m adding my responses for each day here. All my coping tips are under this tag.
