Can't We All Just Get Along?

One of my best and most dear friends from childhood, Aryn, read a statistic during highschool about friends. The stat said that people are most likely to fight or argue on Wednesdays. She brought up and we implemented Wednesdays as "Share Day" where we'd each take turns sharing something with our group (about 8 of us) to help ensure we wouldn't fight, but be better friends. That sounds pretty noble, but really it was a reason to bring treats or little trinkets to share with our group-o-friends. Somewhere in my parent's basement is a small box of "share day" do-dads. There are yo-yo's, cheap necklaces, the chocolate was eaten quickly of course, mood rings and other stuff. It was fun and a little exciting to see what thing we'd get on Wednesdays at school.

Friends are worth keeping! I am happy to say I have great friends from childhood, all the way to now, and I love meeting new people. My mom is notorious for talking to strangers, it used to embarrass me as a teenager to be with my mom and have her strike up a conversation with the cashier or whomever was next in line. Now I think that's great and we'd all get along better if we reached out more to one another and say hi!
