Talking to friends on the phone is a good day!

My long time friend called my back today!! We chatted for an hour and I feel invigorated by the connection.
Pulled me from the brink of a migraine... well that and the storm finally breaking!

Friends are a big joy-maker in our lives. Humans are social creatures - so the need for social connection is hard-wired in our being.
Many studies report on the impact of social connections on both wellness and happiness. People who feel socially connected live longer, and report feeling happier.
I miss having many close friends, as I did during graduate school, where we lived together, went to class together, and gathered together persistently.
