Do you have friends?
Like anything else, friendships change as we get older. Many of us find a dramatically smaller friendship circle after we retire or when our kids leave school. Relationships that came by way of shared work spaces or school sports and events often have a finite shelf life. And that’s okay.
But what about now? Friendship are important throughout our lives; we just have to work a bit harder at finding and cultivating them at this stage.
We came across an interesting story on the website Sixty and Me about why friendship matters when we’re over 60 (or in this second stage of life). Anyone who’s laughed, cried and commiserated with a friend knows the value of friendship. What isn’t so clear is how to make new ones when our decades-long friendships of convenience have run their course. You can read the entire column at Sixty and Me.
