My teacher friends, both in the building and out of the building, have made it possible for me to keep teaching. And my husband, who works from home, has started making it a higher priority to get together with work colleagues whenever the opportunity presents itself. He's an introvert and loves the quiet of working from home, but he also sees the value in spending an afternoon in the suite at a Colts game because it gets him around other people in the management team and keeps those work relationships alive. Work friendships matter, they really do.
