How Friendship Fuels Our Health

For nearly 40 years, Labor Day Weekend has marked a “Same Time Next Year” tradition of gathering with my college friends. We all hold that weekend sacred, ensuring it has a permanent spot on our calendars. Year after year, we journey to the same place and spend the weekend together, comfortably reconnecting as though no time has passed.

 I am immensely grateful for this ritual of gathering.  It’s a constant reminder of the vital role friendship plays in our lives.
