I love this -- Friendsgiving -- I am having one this coming weekend. Real friends are rare, and I am so thankful for mine. I am also very thankful for the 'friends in the moment' - that surprise person who steps up because they see a momentary need for simply caring. Excellent post. ann

Sounds a lovely idea!! Wish I had enough friends to be able to have a Friendsgiving several times a month and the time to do it lol. We need to be grateful for the friends we have.

Comment from Navada
What a great idea! And kudos to whoever came up with that title. The friendship circle is so very important and I think the past few years of lockdowns have encouraged many of us not to take socialisation and togetherness for granted. Thanks for the share.

Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
This is a good idea. Why stifle yourself to one day a year? We can feel the joy rolling off your story. You are very lucky to have a group of women you can pal around with. You tell a good story. Karen

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is a great idea for a group of friends. Mutual support is always a great idea, although I wonder how you don't sometimes end up comparing what ails you. My group are 77-year-olds and we are very glad to see each other, very glad we're still alive.

Hello Gretchen,
what a grand idea, but even better is the fact that you all get together on a regular basis. I'm blessed with great neighbors who have become good friends, and we meet for cards or drinks at least once a week. Nothing too formal, just to enjoy each other's company. Of all the things God has blessed us with, friends rank near the top. Thanks so much for sharing gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

It took me a moment to realize that Friendsgiving was a play on Thanksgiving. What a wonderful concept. You are so right about the gathering making it a wonderful time to show your gratitude for each other even if it isn't directly communicated in words. Just being together gives energy and support. Thanks for sharing. I may have to start something like this with my friends.

Meeting for lunch with friends several times a month is a great idea. I've read, developing relationships with people you can socialize with lengthens longevity. You and your group practice Friendsgiving each and every month. which means you all may live to be one-hundred years old.
