You have never met a friend. But you have most certainly met amazing people you have turned into friends. And you can do it again.

We know how many potential friendships haven't been actualized because we dropped the ball. We waited for someone else to pursue. We waited for someone else to "just make it happen."

Even if you know what you're looking for in a friend, how do you find those friends when you're starting from scratch? And even if they're out there... will you take the time out of your busy life to "date" them?

In the midst of an archaeological dig amongst the piles on my messy desk this morning, I found a not-yet-used 2008 calendar from Papyrus and I discovered that today is Long Lost Friend Day.
