STRONGER TOGETHER STRONGER TOGETHER The Power of Friends & Community
By Linda Commito
Friendships have always meant a lot to me. Sometimes life circumstances don’t allow for the level of closeness that was once readily available, but I do appreciate each and every one and how they have touched my life. I even marvel at the fact that I have friends I have known since I was 7 or 8 years old and still get to see a couple of times a year.

But what I have also come to experience and value, especially as life has taken me to new places to call HOME, is a sense of COMMUNITY and how comforting that can be to all who participate.
Trends indicate that we are reclaiming a deeper appreciation for old-time values that have been missing for decades, accompanied by feelings of contentment and well-being that come from being a part of a community.
