I had a lovely dinner with a good friend of mine the other night. It was one of those dinners where the conversation just flows and every moment is enjoyable. It was a warm pleasant spring evening, and after dinner we kept talking and ended up taking her dogs for a small walk.
It made me remember just how valuable friends are and to never take them for granted. Too often we let friendships fall by the wayside, get caught up in the day to day grind of our lives or let the conversations turn into sessions venting about your work or family.
What I have learned is to never take anyone or anything for granted and to make the effort to be present in the moment when talking to someone. Your friends (and family) are the ones that are there in the good times and the bad, and it is important to nuture these relationships. Even if you don't catch up with someone for months at a time, drop them a note, text message or just give them a call. They may need you just as much as you need them.
