When you're hungering for a friend, dialing a pal from the past is such a treat that you'll hardly notice the long-distance tab. E-mail's also a great tool to help you stay in touch with faraway friends. Make the first move. Don't sit back and wait for someone else to do it. Take a risk.
Good friends are worth the risk.
Remember past friendships. Remembering when you were loved in the past is an encouraging reminder that you'll be loved again. Grab a friendship minute. When your schedule's squeezed out friendships, little chats can keep you going until you have the time for some deeper connections. Be wary of Internet relationships.
