Flowers are like friends, they just are there, give lots and cheer us up!
I have long espoused the importance of networking, friendship, and finding ways to have open, honest healthy relatiohships. When my clients have such a base, I know that they are well on their way to a better life, and if there is addiction present, a definite drop in relapse potential. The one truth here is that we will not call friends if we are in trouble if we haven't called them in our joy.
My friend Ron Carducci has a website regarding all aspects of friendship. He posts a new article about once a month regarding issues in friendship. It is a great teaching tool as is his Book: Playing It By Ear, which can be found on his website as well. It is a delightful teaching manual in which he uses stories from his life as a jazz drummer (an earlier vocation prior to his Ph.d in Psychology). It is an easy read and filled with images and tales as to make the lessons like pieces of dessert. I think you will learn new things to make you a better friend and have a good time doing it.
This week make the effort and call two friends, and next week too. The rule is you don't have to stay on the phone for a long time, so don't use that as an excuse.
Gotcha!
