HMO: Nourishing Old Friendships

For the past 5 years, just like clockwork, I have lost a very good friend As a result, I have made some adjustments in my life, trying to be able to take something away from the loss of each of these friends. One thing, is that I attempt to spend more time with the old friends that I had not spent much time with in the past. I'm not trying to heal wounds, just spend more time with the healthy friendships that have been neglected. Likewise, I am avoiding some friendships that are more social work and have more drama than I care for. Friendships are like marriages, you get out of them about what you put in.

Question: Have you taken time of late to nourish an old friendship or repair a family relationship?
