Friendly Catch Ups
I'm sure you know what I mean when I say "catch up" i can now say that I have known some of my friends for more than 25 years (jheez) I can't beleive it myself but yes I have, as allways well most times you see your friends on a regular basis when your younger, talk to them on the phone for hours whilst watching T.V yes at the same time and go out socialising.
Now, I started having children pretty young so my time was not my own, it was my babies, I lived with my mum for just a short while until I got my own place. My really close friends would come round to see "us" which would always be fun, but then we started to get into life, the work life and the struggle life and the gotta get by life!! so time with friends can be few and far between, but what I loved was the fact that I may not have seen my friends for months maybe even a few years but we would always catch up right where we left off just like we were together yesterday.
I am a strong believer in the "Catch up" it can be very therapeutic, restorative, extremely fun and mentally good for you, this is the time to call up those girls or guys and just Catch up , go to the movies there are some creative and really funny films showing at the cinema, @girlstrip was and is my best film so far this year, no other comedy can touch it for me to be honest.
Today and yesterday I have been on my catch up mission, all you need is a couple of hours in the day thats all heres what you do:
Step 1: go to @facebook @instagram @twitter or simply your phone book.
Step 2: make a list of friends to contact, the ones you know for a fact that you really click with.
Step 3: Call or message them, they will be surprised to hear from you and usually happy.
Step 4: Set a time and day, even the meeting place it's best to get this bit set etc as we can at times find excuses or just not ever meet up which is not part of the plan, so get your diaries out and set the date.
Step 5: Repeat Step 4 with the "Catch up Friends" on your list.
Step 6: Confirm a day or two before the "catch up" date, just in case life gets you or your friends distracted
Step 6: Catch up and have some fun, this has been the goal from the beginning
