Friends and Gratitude

I'm fortunate enough to have this amazing group of women I get together with every month. We've been meeting for almost 8 years now and I'm so proud to be a part of it.

The other evening one person was talking about a study that was done to show the best ways to handle stress (I believe it was referring to things President Obama could do.) The top two things were to continue to surround yourself with friends...don't isolate yourself and to show gratitude to those who help you. Something as simple as a handwritten card.

It seems almost too easy to be true, but I think I will try it out and see for myself.
