Friday's Fix!
Making Deposits!
How do you spend time with your girlfriends? I am talking about females spending time with their female friends. Life is so busy and we are always on the go. Girlfriends are our support system, glue, tissue holder, advice coach, love therapist and so many more things. It is an important social niche to have in order to feel loved, supported and cheered on!

Some of my favorite activities with my friends are simple. Enjoying a glass of wine together or dinner. Meeting out my friend with our significant others. Shopping together. It never has to be ultra planned or something that is overly done. It just has to happen. Relationships, especially friendships are like banks. You have to make deposits in order to see them grow. You also can take out withdrawals. But as long as deposits are being made your friendship will be rich.
Here are some other girlfriend worthy activities
- Wine or beer tasting.
- Going to a new restaurant off the beaten path
- Hiking
- Relaxing at the beach
- Taking your kids to the park so you can enjoy girl time
- Enjoying a good movie together
- Manicures and pedicures. Everyone needs to be pampered right?
- Exercising. Running, biking or walking together is good for the body and the soul
- Going to a concert
- Taking a new class. (art, exercise, etc)
- Having a potluck at someones house and everyone brings a dish
- Going into the city to explore for the day
- Enjoying a cup of coffee at your favorite shop
Think it might be hard to keep up with your deposits? Mark your calendar. Think about a day of the week or month that you can dedicate to friendship and meeting with your friends. You can also have each friend come up with the idea of what you will do that month so it changes all the time.
Another way to be sure you are getting in the girl time is to write down specific dates to meet. Birthdays are a perfect time to celebrate and be with friends. Mark it down to create accountability.
We are all busy. But if you get too busy to make deposits your friendships will be empty soon.
How do you make your friendship deposits?

I love my friends and even in my 50's still have friends from High School. We get together, we talk, we play cards, we laugh. We've gone hiking, we've gone into the city (NYC) we've gone kayaking together. We've even done spa days with each other. Nothing is better than having than having the people who know you, who've got your back, in your life for life! My 96 year old mother still plays cards with her high school friends.
That is incredible. You are very blessed!
Craft Night! Every couple months one of us will host -- potluck or BYOB and everyone brings a craft to work on. Really fun!
Oh I love that idea! Crafting is so therapeutic!
