Friends are For Life

During our life we meet many interesting people. We find we can connect to some more than others. We share the same values, morales and ethics. We have lots of things in common. These people become a big part of our lives. These people become our close confidants. We call these people our friends.

Friends are a very important balance in our personal lives. We have to spend time with our friends not because we have too, but because we should do.

Some of us get into a relationship and suddenly forget about our friends. Why ? Is it for fear of our partners. If this is the reason then, you need to find a better balance with your partner.

Rochelle and I make it a point to meet our friends regularly. This keeps our life well balanced. I love being in the company of my wife, of course, I married her ;) , however sometimes I just want to hang around my buddies, have a beer and talk about music.

Dedicate one night during the week to meet up with your friends and tell your partner to do the same. The guys can go play football, release some energy and the ladies can meet up and indulge in multiple delights, such as their favorites chocolates and wine (Saw that on TV).

Make the event a fun one. It should be. They are your best friends.

As we evolve in our lives, some of us can change our friends, not because we lose out, No !! Because of our circumstances. Some of us go to live overseas. Some of us change schools. Some of us change jobs. Some of us work completely different hours.

Like many of you I am sure, I feel blessed to have met many amazing friends along life's wonderful journey. I am even Godfather to one of my best friends daughter.

As time passes by, and because I have lived in three different continents I sometimes take a day during the month and dedicate it to my friends. I make sure I write an e mail or give my friends a call. This always excites me. I love my friends very much. Now some of us males find it hard to express their feelings. I think it is a whole load of nonsense. I tell all my friends I love them and that feels great.

Sometimes we need to remind our friends how fortunate we are to have them. We do not have to go all Lovey dovey with them. Instead you can invite them over to your place for a nice meal. Buy them a small present. Something with meaning. Thank them for being around, in the good times and the bad.

So here it is all short and sweet. If you have some good friends who you have not talked to in ages. Pick up the phone and give them a ring. If you have a night off. Make it a point to invite your friends over for a fun night in. Make a themed night, be creative. If you never get to see your friends. Create one day during the week to meet up.

I know for a fact your relationships will improve. Your life will be well balanced.
I hope you enjoyed this message and have got INSPIREd to initiate a friends night, if you have any feedback, comments or suggestions I would be very happy to hear from you.

Keep Your Friendship alive,
All the best
As Always
