Friends

“I value the friend who for me finds time on their calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult the calendar.” - Robert Brault

Yes, we get busy BUT it's nice when you call up a friend and they go ahead and find the time to just "kick it". And not having to call the secretary to schedule "hang out" time or wait for them to check their calendars first.
Real friends are still into the kind of friendships that are "reliable".

There are other ways too to maintain relationships if time doesn't permit you sooner (calling, texting, sending pictures, emailing etc). So no excuses ....

Meditate on this :)
