I recently posted a piece on my blog that summarizes the research on how and why friendship is good for you. Now I want to know about YOUR friendships and support networks.

Fun fact: Did you know friendship benefits your health and emotional well-being even if you're not in regular touch with your friends according to at least one study?

TELL ME ABOUT IT:
How many friends do you have? How many do you feel can listen to you talk about problems you might have step-wise in a supportive, non-judgmental way? When was your last get-together or contact with a friend and what did you do? Are you part of an organization — temple, mosque, church, support group — that gives you a feeling of community and support? Make a plan to see a friend right now, and tell us about what you'll be doing.
