A Gathering of Friends
Tuesday is the day for social topics. Here is a quick, easy idea that will enhance your social life and kindle your spirit — plan a simple social gathering. If you are part of a family, choose a week night and flip through some restaurant coupons. Invite another family, some friends or neighbors to join you at that restaurant for a pre-homework bite.
If you are single and want to meet new people, pick the restaurant and ask a few friends to join you with a few of their friends . . . If you make this a monthly ritual, you can create a vast circle of new friends quite quickly! Just say something like: I’m meeting some friends for dinner at X restaurant. I’d love for you to join us and bring a few of your friends. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
The Written Art of Saying Thank You (sample notes included)
You are invited to dinner, have attended a wedding, or been given a present. What do you do? Classy you compose a handwritten note as a gesture of appreciation. Anyone can send an ecard — that really says very little. It’s so commercial that it, quite frankly, is tacky. Write a simple email and you’ll look like a clod. Your sentiments need not take more than a paragraph — it’s the thought that counts. I’ve included a link for personalized stationary below.

Does this seem too Victorian for 2007? You can make the most of that era by sending a secret love poem or note – VERY ROMANTIC! I’ve included a link, below, for that, as well. Ecards are also a fun way to stay in touch with friends when you don’t have the time to visit in person or by phone. Play with the links, below, and have a great day!
