Keeping Your Valued Friendships Alive

Good Morning from the Garden Cafe! I love sitting at the cafe with friends drinking coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night after a long day. How fun it is to laugh and talk about life and the silly things that can happen through out your day. How sad it is to realize that all the friends you had at one time have slowly drifted away. This can happen when we forget to value the special people in our lives. Some move away and the distance becomes a problem for most to continue to keep the friendship thriving. But when no energy has been put into that friendship to stay connected, especially for a length of time.... it dies. Just like a garden, if it's not watered and taken care of the beautiful flowers slowly wilt. Every relationship requires nurturing and every ounce of effort. Our friendships in life are a gift. Feelings can be hurt, promises have to be met, appreciating each others accomplishments in life. But not supporting or communicating with one another are

the mistakes we make in relationships. Both parties have to be involved and continue to take the time when building that long lasting friendship.

Life is to short to iqnore and throw away priceless friendships that we've made over time. We all need our good and faithful friends to support us through the crazy tough times in life. And to remind us that we are never alone.
