Who do you want in your friendship circle a year from now? Will you invest the time to spend with your friend in the coming months? Here are some tips for organizing the ties of friendship so they stay knotted:
- Plan ahead. My friend Floy and I plotted and planned our day at the International Quilt Study Center. The date was set aside weeks in advance.
- Manage contact information. Use one system for collecting phone numbers, addresses, and email information. For example, Microsoft Outlook is a versatile tool that is underused by many. Ask for help in using this or another system and eliminate all those scraps of paper and stickies.
- Celebrate life. Share your successes and challenges with your friends. They will appreciate hearing from you.
May your friendships blossom and multiply! How do you keep your friendships well-tended? We would like to hear your tips and experiences.
