Make Time For Friends, It’s Good For Your Health
Here’s Something New to Feel Good About Today!
“A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.” Douglas Pagels
Pause for a moment in your busy day. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Make a date to connect with your friend. You will feel better and actually be in better health because of it. Think you don’t have the time, the reality is, none of us know just how much time we have. It’s up to you to create that precious space for the friendships you value most. Don’t wait, “Just Do It!”
This is a photo taken yesterday, of my dear friend Heather and I. We met for the afternoon because she was passing through San Francisco on her way to a writing conference. We allocated three hours to be together, and we made it happen. We were once neighbors and now Heather lives on the east coast and I live 3000 miles away. It is a testament to our bond of friendship and commitment to stay connected, that we both feel there is never any real distance between us.
Friendships take effort and dedication but they are so worth it…. I can’t imagine what my life would be like without my closest friends to share it with. Every friend brings something different to my life. My friend Heather brings hope and possibility. No matter what, Heather believes in me. She encourages and even pushes me to become more than I think I am capable of. Because I have her in my corner, I believe more in myself.

It takes being a great friend to have a great friendship. It’s a commitment we make to be there over time and to love each other, no matter what!

I really like that song! A friend can always brighten your day without any effort. I love them all and I will share this post to them. Thanks a lot for a nice article.
I always find time to be with my friends. It relaxes me after a week of stressful work. I am happy to be able to see them every week. We are always laughing and just talk about anything under the sun.
