TIP OF THE DAY
How to Bond With Friends and Loved Ones
Here are some suggestions on how to nurture and strengthen the close bonds you share with the people closest to you.

1. Make simple but sincere and thoughtful gestures to brighten the day of your loved one. For example, write and design for a homemade greeting card for your friend. In it, it should contain your personalized message saying how much you appreciate him/her. Or send your friend an e-card online. There are plenty of beautiful looking e-cards to choose from the Internet. Out of the blue, send your friend a text message giving him/her simple advise. Like ,"eat well" or "hope you get enough sleep tonight"

2. Take part in some way in the main interest of your friend or loved one. For example, if your friend likes to play football--then book for next weekend to watch him play in the football match and cheer him on! Or if your gal friend is addicted to fashion, help her on deciding what to wear for the next party.

3. Send your friends or loved ones flowers every once in a while. Even if you are not the sentimental type, just send flowers every once a while. Yellow roses indication of true friendship, red roses indication of passionate romance.

4. Give them a compliment - not too much otherwise you will seem pushy. Everyone loves to be told how great their hair looks or that their new pair of shoes suits them. It will lift their mood and they will subconsciously associate this with you.
