friends

When you give of yourself while expecting nothing in return, it changes you. It definitely gives a deeper sense of happiness, gratitude, and fulfillment.

Maybe it's just been an extra hectic year. Maybe there's something in the air? Whatever it is, I've heard more friends than ever before talk about how they're wanting to celebrate Thanksgiving week differently. Some don't want to cook...

It's about people. If there's someone in your life who would turn their nose up at such a lovely gathering, perhaps they don't need to be invited anyway.

The best part? You get to take them home to enjoy--although you may find they're too pretty to eat. ;)

It sounds like social media doesn't necessarily make us more social.

There seems to be an online service for anything now. Need a lift? We got Uber. Can't find a mate? Type in whateverlove.com. Tired of going out by yourself? You can now rent someone to be your friend for the evening.

The next time a holiday comes around, fight the temptation to minimize it. Celebrate special days. Heck, celebrate every day. Really, aren't they all special?

I do enjoy some good TV watching. But it can be hard to get into a new one when you already have several your in to. Here are some popular TV shows I have never watched. I want to know yours, too.

The Friend's star was mistaken as the perpetrator of a beer theft in England. Through a series of tweets, he proved it wasn't him who got away with the hooch.

I never thought I'd be great buds with a retired man who rides through the neighborhood every day on a golf cart, but Chuck is awesome! And he's proof that getting to know our neighbors is a really good thing.
