Do you tell people that you are too busy to maintain a friendship with them? You may not phrase it so bluntly, but if you use busyness as an excuse for not keeping in contact it is the same thing. Have you had others give you this excuse, or have you offered it as an excuse for them, saying that you know they are busy? This can be a gracious way to excuse people who are not willing to put any effort into maintaining a friendship, but everyone has the same number of hours in a day, and who do you know that doesn’t make a priority of the things that are most important to them?
