I am particularly terrible at making new friends. I love having friends but even keeping the spark of my current friendship alive with all that’s on my plate can be exhausting. At the same time, I find myself really craving deeper friendships and the season I am in is making that difficult. So this week’s challenge hit this momma straight to the heart!
I have felt pulled to reconnect with so many of my friends lately, even the ones I talk to on a somewhat consistent basis. Many of my friends have moved out of state in the last few years and it seems that we are now all over the country making maintaining friendships extra difficult. I use the Passion Planner and each week it gives you an idea for ways to grow. Last week’s goal was to handwrite a letter to a friend each day telling them you are thankful for their friendship. I LOVED this idea so much! I have gotten 6 letters out in a week and a half! I cannot wait to send out more! I think getting snail mail is the best and I think a note from a friend means so much more than a text or a facebook message. I want to encourage you to write to your friends and reconnect or just remind someone how special they are to you. When we have kids, our friendships tend to take the side burner. Reignite that spark of friendship. Take this week to thank your friends for just being there for you. To help persuade you to put a pen to paper I am giving away a stationary set! To enter, all you have to do is comment below with how you intend to Enjoy Friendship this week! A winner will be chosen next Thursday! Don’t forget to share your stories as you complete the challenge and use #ETHANproject and tag @whenisnap_time ! I hope you all find time to make new friends this week or to reconnect with an old friend! Good luck to all of you!
