Expanding or Shutting Down- your preference?

[nr]

We have a friend whose aunt decided in her adult years to make it a goal to make 3 new friends a year, in 3 different age groups: a youth, a middle-ager and an elderly person.
Her point was that as we get older we start shutting down and have a tendancy to always do things the same way and that making friends could expand us, our ideas and our activities. She also joked that making younger friends guaranteed that someone would attend her funeral!
(The church was full.)

Just wondering what you all think of that.

what an intelligent woman!!! If only we all could think along these lines! Making new friends, as well as retaining life-long friends, is NEVER a bad idea!! Good for her!

Excellent idea!!! I don't think you can ever have too many friends.

(or too much money. Isn't that how that saying goes?

Having friends of all different ages would keep you open-minded as well.

I really think you should convince Haymaker to join you...

WHY? Do you think his mind needs expanding. :nod: :cowboy:

Wish we could attend. But its a very busy time of year around here, can't seem to ever catch up.

Us, too. End of October or anytime in November would've been workable for us.
