I found this article from January 2013: 5 Friendship Resolutions to Keep Your Relationships in Shape by Laura Marie Meyes
I agree with what Laura writes, especially #4:
"Know when to forgive and when to let go.
You're busy, your
friends are busy, and it's inevitable that at some point, you may feel
disappointed. Practice patience and empathy, and remember that your most
important friendships should be more or less unconditional. And if a
friendship does start to feel draining or painful, recognize when you
need to create some extra distance. No need for dramatic friend breakups
— just create the boundaries that feel right for you."
Good advice to remember - not just during the holiday season, but throughout the year.
Wishing everyone a Healthy and Happy New Year!
Ever since the book came out, I've received feedback about how it's made women think about friendships throughout their lives, as well as who is in their lives now. The goal of this blog is to open up and create a dialogue about friendships: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Each week I will post my thoughts, experiences, as well as various articles, topics or quotes that I feel are important when examining female friendships. Please feel free to leave comments; I look forward to hearing from you!
