With all of these benefits, it’s important that we take the time to nurture our friendships and support our friends. Sending a friend an appreciative message is a great way to show them how much they mean to you. And nurture your relationship.
I have a great group of friends who I believe will be lifelong friends. I have visions of us living like the Golden Girls one day. I’ll probably be Sophia!
