Today is Make a Friend Day, a February 11 holiday. Do you have enough buddies? The answer should be no. No matter how many besties we have, more of them increases our wealth. That’s because they are one of life’s valuable assets. ‘Ya just can’t have too many of them. And perhaps best of all, you get to choose who you want as a friend.
Make a Friend Day is a great opportunity to meet someone new or do something to make a new pal. Making a new friend can be easier to do than you think. There must be a gazillion ways to make new ones. It often helps by smiling and just being friendly or helpful.
Spend this special day just being friendly and doing special or nice things for others.
Oh, by the way… I hope that you will be my bestie!
