Good Times and Crazy Friends Make The Best Memories

"Life is a beautiful gift to be cherished and shared with those you love. However, it can be easy to get caught up in the little things. So, it's important to remember your time on this earth is limited."

As we get older and life gets faster, the time we once had for our friends seems to diminish. We might not notice it at first, but soon our coffee dates are being replaced by school meetings. Our carefree mornings are busy and rushed, and the phone calls we used to make daily to chat with our best friend are slowly turning into every other week (or month!) catch-up calls. Fitting in time for friends is sadly one of the first things to go when life gets busy, and before we know it – we hardly know the person we used to call our best friend.


This fact is though, that while this is tragic, it’s also preventable! Friends add colour to life. They are your mates, confidants, alter-ego, and a lot more. Spending time with friends is one of the few pleasures in life that can cost you very little, but reward you substantially. It is also proven to be one of the best ways to combat stress. Spending time with your BFFs can be the most relaxing yet fun time of the day when you forget about all your problems.


Carve out time for your friends, by scheduling it in. One way to do this successfully is to find common goals you both might have and spend your time together working on reaching those goals – accomplishing two things at the same time and making it easier to find time to spend with friends. An example would be working out together, walking the pets together, trying new things together, or scheduling the kids’ play dates with each other. You could also look out for special occasions to spend time with each other. These events don’t have to be huge social events. It could be as simple as having your spouse look after the kids so you can go out for coffee or inviting friends over to celebrate your friend's birthday.


One of my best friend is turning 41 tomorrow and I had a party to celebrate. I had it at DIM Cafe where traditional Thai, Italian, and Turkish cuisine are masterfully fused with modern creativity. We did a cocktail hour and then seated dinner, and then afterwards went dancing in the moonlight. It was one of the best nights of my life.



I am wishing a very happy 41st birthday to Pat Cruellar, a school friend who has been with me since my very first day of school. Thank you for always being there for me and always looking out for my best interests. I am so lucky to have such a great school friend I know I can rely on.


Congrats and enjoy your special day!
