In seventh grade my family moved from St. Louis far away into the middle of nowhere. Being the new kid on the block again, I felt alone, isolated, and missed my familiars. Then I met Karen.
We played softball together, started riding bikes the mile between our houses and learned we were born a couple of weeks apart. We survived high school together, then went our separate ways only to reunite decades later. The pandemic separated us again again only to reconnect over our shared loss of a good friend, and for birthdays.
Who have you become separated from during this time that you can reach out to? On what level can you reconnect? Ki to Happiness reconnects through the innocence of friendship.
