I was determined to communicate well and make new friends

Anyway, I soon had several things to do regarding talking to others,  and actions I could take that would enable me to meet and enjoy people—-and find my SIX friends.

    I became excited about this and was confident I could create and experience the friendships I wanted.  I was even more excited when I realized that many are missing pleasure and benefits from healthy relationships and friends in their lives and that I was going to help them get to where I was going. 

  I developed the 3Cs.  The 3Cs stands for three communication skills—connect, conversation and commune.  I knew if I could learn these 3 skills,  they would greatly help me enjoy people and make new friends. To commune is the sharing of thoughts or feelings with others.

Hey, I want to fast forward a bit--after one years time--so at the end of 2016 I found my six freinds---El, Michelle, Morgan, Jodi, Erin and Tom.  Now, I must admit that Tom is a cat---but a really cool cat--and a good friend.

Life is good---and is even more good when you have friends nearby that you can spend time with.  Usually I spend Saturdays in Seattle and yesterday had plans with Michelle to get together  for lunch and then  to a nearby coffee shop to study.  Friday night she said that she was sorry but was not going to be able to make it Saturday.  I had been looking forward to that all week and so was disapointed.  However, that is life--and why we need more than one or two frineds nearby that we can enjoy each othes presence.
