Three things related to our word of the month…or three random things we thought of while we were shopping, driving, sleeping…well, you get the idea. The only thing we can guarantee is that Sherra thinks in threes and she insisted we do this on Thursday. She’s bossy like that.

Three things we consciously do to maintain strong friendships…

Leigh Anne says…

Picking up an unexpected gift that reminds me of that friend and surprising them with it.
Remember birthdays even if it is just with a call, email or card.
Make appointments with them for shopping, lunch or just to talk! Don’t just hope it will happen – make it happen.

Sherra says…

A phone call out of the blue
An email to just say “Hi, I’m thinking of you”
Put them on my calendar in ink

Any special things you do to maintain friendships?

1) Always try to remember birthdays with a card, present, e-mail, or something special.
2) Unexpected calls. . . . .
3) An e-mail message to brighten their day.

1. Cards for no reason
2. Phone calls
3. Scheduling time together.

Here are three things I try to keep in mind:
1. Respond to emails, letters, etc. as promptly as possible.
2. Remember birthdays (yes, Tamara!
3. Write a thank-you note for cards, gifts, and acts of kindness.
