One of Michelle's friends moved across the country, another is now married with small children, the other is at seminary. But despite the fact Michelle now has a local circle of girlfriends and a demanding career in advertising, she still makes these longstanding friendships a priority. The richness they bring to my life makes it well worth the effort to stay in touch. My Fab Five actually started as a Fab Four. Julie, Karen, Lisa, and I used to frequent local restaurants and share many a Blockbuster night together.
Common ground can be a great foundation for a circle of friends.
Then along came Ruth. Julie invited Ruth to some of our get-togethers, and at first she was very quiet. Now Ruth is our friend and we couldn't picture our gang without her. Find some common ground. My gang and I are all single.
