A

My friend Jessie and I have known each other since we were very young. After we both started working we seldom had time to get together though I always promised myself that I would meet her whenever I was free.

Friendships get more cherished(珍贵) as we get older. When we reached our forties, we decided to do something to keep our friendship strong, healthy and growing. We picked out one Saturday a month and promised to do something together on that day. Sometimes we had a long lunch out, and other times we went to see a movie or went shopping. We also promised to have an adventure(冒险) every few days.

In some adventures we drove to our favorite places and spent a night there. Other times we just drove, stopping wherever we wanted. One of our adventures took us to a very small town in south Georgia. The people there were celebrating a special festival. We enjoyed buying the hand-made gifts and eating the delicious food. There was also a parade(游行). Everyone in the parade smiled and waved to us! It was so great! We had a great day that day!

Fun is always on the menu, whether it’s a weekend trip or a couple of hours over lunch. We are so happy and have a great influence on each other’s lives. We share our sorrow(悲伤) and happiness and we ask for and receive advice. We always laugh, too! Don’t keep promising yourself that “someday” you will meet your friends. Do it now. Pick up your phone and make a plan for this weekend. You’ll be a happier, healthier person for it! You need it and your friends need it, too.
