I live quite a distance away from the majority of my friends. Ya, I have one or two friends in my community, but the people I feel closest to live at least 45 mins-1 hour away from me. This is true, as well, of people in my social periphery.
Because of the time/distance, I generally don't get out too much... especially during the work week. It's not like I don't want to go out with people... but when one combines the drive with the time, throw in some bad weather... and the necessity of getting up the next morning for work... well, it just adds up to a difficult time.
That being said, just getting invited to things is a pretty damn nice thing. I sometimes feel bad that I can't attend for the above mentioned reasons, but the invite is nice.
Today I got an invite to a poker night which I probably won't be able to attend since it's an hour away from me on a work night... but it was from someone who I never thought would include me.
Those sorts of mini surprises are unexpectedly nice.
And appreciated.
