5 Minute Friday: Coffee With Friends

Keeping connected with friends near and far is a challenge. Friends afar we link with easily in an increasingly savvy social networking world.

Friends that we see because they are neighbors or share activities and hobbies with us, are natural connections.  We run into them head on, and chat and smile and catch up on a regular basis.

Friends that we just enjoy spending time with, but they live a little outside of our busy path of travel, seem to be the casualties in this day and age.  Unless you have a hard and fast motivating reason, you can keep your head down and your nose to the grindstone without ever moving from your busy path.

This is when coffee, cocktails, and time spent across the table make such a big difference. We can rush through this multi tasking world without ever really connecting, so we need to make the connections.

Grab coffee with a friend today.  It could be an old friend or a new friend.  It can be lemonade instead of coffee, but renew an old connection or form some new ones.
