Friendship Week Continued

Even adults sometimes need a reminder on ways to make new friends. Here are some helpful hints from an article on About. com. Funny enough, it was originally written for teens, but upon reading over the list you realize the same rules apply, no matter our age.

1) Listen attentively and

2) Give (sincere) compliments

3) Turn off the technology - at least temporarily - and pay attention to those around you

4) Join a club or special interest group

5) Volunteer for a cause you care about

6) Join a study group (Bible Study, anyone?)

7) Laugh - everyone appreciates someone with a good sense of humor

A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they're not so good,

and sympathizes with your problems

when they're not so bad.
