[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've collected friends at the two high schools I went to, two colleges I went to, grad school, neighbors, where I have volunteered for over a decade, my old job, my current job, etc.  I once went to get a manicure the evening before DH and I were going out of town for a wedding and somehow made friends with the lady sitting next to me. We started meeting up at the nail salon once a month, then decided our husbands would like each other so got them together, and now our families are good friends.  We host Friendsgiving, we host a holiday party, a summer BBQ, Passover, etc.  We accept all invitations that we can.  One time I was walking the dog, ran into a neighbor, listened to her talk about going to an event and needing a pashmina, and 10 minutes after I'd gotten home I was at her door holding the three I had for her to choose from.  When DH had surgery two months later she dropped off homemade soup and bread for our family.

We're warm and welcoming and make people feel good about themselves.  [/quote]

How do keep up with all of those friendships? We are prior military and I wish I had the bandwidth to maintain all of those old friendships, plus new ones, but I just don’t have the energy. [/quote]
