4. Invest in positive friendships. You know those who love you that you have been avoiding. Pick up the phone. Call them. Schedule a lunch. Go get pedicures together. Go fishing. Take your kids to the park for a play date. Send them a card if they aren’t close by. I can’t think of anyone that wouldn’t love to find a card in their mailbox rather than a bill!
