Hmmmmm…06/04/12


Hmmmmm…06/04/12

“Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.”
-Sicilian Proverb

…Or if something is in your teeth.  Did you also know that genuine friendships are good for your health?

We know that our friends provide emotional support and boost our self-esteem, but people with meaningful social connections also have fewer cardiovascular and immune problems.  Recent research has shown, too, that women diagnosed with advanced stages of ovarian or breast cancer live twice as long if they have strong support groups.  They also experience less pain throughout their treatments.

It has been said that friends are the relatives you make for yourself.  With all the mental and physical benefits of friendship, it makes sense to nurture those ties like your life depended on it, because it just might.   It turns out that Phone-a-Friend really is a lifeline!

Time for a ‘family’ reunion!
