I recently changed up the time/day I see a certain group of friends. This group often gets together for weeknight dinners. Last week we had a school-free Friday and I suggested a play date for our kids at a park, even though only some of the kids know each other. That worked fine. Before we left I casually tossed out the idea of trying a new, buzzy restaurant for an early dinner the next day, on Saturday. Three of us could do it and it was a hit. We weren’t hangry by the time we were eating, we were home well before bedtime and the whole thing felt easy.
This absolutely created new depth to these friendships. Or at least it put you on that path. We have to change it up sometimes to see people in a new light. And for them to see US in a new light. Good job!
I like the change a venue one! I have some friends I tend to meet in the same places/ways and I think mixing things up is a good idea (which I will try!)
I love this and agree completely! I recently got off Facebook, but first got a college friend’s number because I wanted to stay in touch and had no other way of contacting her. We met up in person for the first time in 20 years! And now we text. Major friendship upgrade!
MAJOR upgrade, I agree! My April challenge was simply to write people's birthdays in your calendar so you don't have to rely on Facebook. You're all over it!! :)
I love these friendship challenges! Thank you 😊
This made me so happy. Thank you for saying that!
