​The answer is: you have fun! Something magical happens when you bring a group of friends or loved ones together—all kinds of positive energy gets released, people have smiles on their faces and there’s always lots of laughter. On top of that, when the occasion is over, your burden seems lighter, you feel happier, and you have another fond memory to look back on. So, take the initiative. Make those phone calls, spiff up the house or back yard and bring a few friends together just to enjoy each other’s company. Sure, it takes a little work, but it puts a whole lot more fun into your life.
