Just as I was walking out of Equinox today I spied Nancy and Cindy and they were graciously reminding me how my presence was missed at the club. That got me thinking about friendship and I remarked about how those of us that see each other virtually everyday spend more time than even we do with our best friends. She agreed as if it was an awakening and just because we are not spending our nights and dinners together we have created our own world inside these environs. I have come to believe like our friend Louis has said that EQ is a 3rd space. There’s home there’s work and then there’s the club. We do have a community here unlike any exercise club I have been in my life and I feel blessed that I have befriended some very beautiful people here.
Friendship is not a relationship to be taken for granted. Like any other commitment it requires nurturing. Neglecting a friendship is a surefire way of insuring its demise.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? This is not a commentary about how to maintain friendships. If I wanted to write about that I would.
