RE-CHOOSING MIDLIFE FRIENDS
Imagine:
You move to a town or city where you don't know anybody.
One of your top priorities is to meet people and make friends.
Imagine further:
You are introduced to your current friends in the new location.
However, you're meeting and learning about them for the first time.
Ideally:
We re-choose our current friends again and again and again.
Reality:
We re-choose some friends, but not others.
This is a case of if I knew then what I now know ...
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Fantasy do-overs are fun and enlightening.
UNHOMEWORK
Would you choose any of your current friends (who they are now) as friends if you
met them today?
List the ones you would choose.
What have you learned about each friend that would cause you to re-choose her?
List the ones you would not choose.
What have you learned about each friend that would cause you not to choose her?
REMINDER
Do you want more detailed guidance, inspiration, and information to navigate the murky waters of
menopausal/midlife friendships?
You'll find practical knowledge, relatable anecdotes, and effective solutions in Help! I Am Surrounded
