About National Friendship Day

When is National Friendship Day? This holiday is celebrated on the first Sunday in August

Friendship Day is a day to nurture relationships, new and old. Spend the day and night with any or all of your friends doing the things you like to do. That makes it a really easy and fun day to celebrate.

Start the day by getting in touch with some old friends. Start early. Chances are that your friends know it’s Friendship Day. You want to beat them to the punch and contact them first. Phone calls, emails, and Ecards are great tools.  See if you can make plans for lunch with a friend today, or some other day (soon).

Then, catch up with some of your current pals and buddies. Make sure to do some interesting things with them before the day is through. As you go through the day, be ever-vigilant to spot an opportunity to make a new friend. Finding new friends today is a real feather in your cap.

One thing is for certain…… if you put your all into the spirit of Friendship Day, you will have a great, great day.

Happy Friendship Day to all of my friends and to people all over the world!
