Yesterday, I got to see one of my Dallas friends for lunch. Why is this unusual and special? Because she works during the week, and we usually only get together on the weekends. Imagine my excitement to see her at lunchtime!! I had a wonderful afternoon of laughing, telling stories, and being with her.
Today, I’m meeting a high school friend for lunch, because she’s in town to see her family. Again, my heart is full of love and gratitude that she includes me in her travel plans. I know it will be wonderful.
Next week, I’ll travel to Oklahoma to see another friend. We’ll lunch, talk story, find the perfect venue for her son’s wedding, and take long walks through the city.
Friends are the gifts we give to ourselves. I treasure them and celebrate them…whenever and wherever I can. I know everyone is busy with life, and I am grateful I get to see my friends.
Friend tips:
1. Say “hello!” Continue to make new friends.
2. Keep in touch however you can. Call them! Invite them! Write them!
3. Make time to reunion with friends.
4. Love them through good times, hard times, and all the in-between times.
5. Friendship goes two ways: to you and from you.
6. Reminisce about ‘old times’ AND make new memories.
Aloha🌺,
Denise
