Day 217 - day dates with friends

I spent the day with a good friend of mine today, just before I ran some errands in the evening. Although most of my day was spent out, it was very refreshing. Spending leisurely day-dates with friends is really a great way to spend your time. What's great about them is that it's a great way to get to know someone without any of the stress involved in our daily lives. Rather than sitting having an evening coffee after a rough day, or taking a break from our busy schedules, day-dates are in someways a vacation from that life, and they can exhibit us, and the other person, at our personal best. They also help you get to know a person, in that sometimes when on an outing with friends, its easy to be 'on' so to speak. But spendign a relatively lengthy period of time with a person helps each person understand the other in a different way, and in a viariety of contexts. And I think it's for all these reasons that they can be more refreshing than tiring, at least the good ones.
