Today is Friendship Day! Lemons are associated with friendship; to sweeten them, how about lemon candy? Take six lemons. Visualize them as shining Suns that brighten friendship. Send energy into them, saying, “Friendship is here. Warmth and kindness are here. Blessed be.�?While you cook, visualize glowing friendship coming from the lemons. Peel the lemons and cut peels into strips. In a saucepan, cover peels with water and boil for twenty minutes. Drain, rinse, and set aside. Bring one cup each of water and sugar to a boil, stir, and reduce heat. Cook until you have a syrup. Add peel to syrup and cook five minutes over medium heat. Drain. Roll peels in one-third cup of sugar, coating both sides. Let stand on a drying rack for a few hours. Make gift packages labeled “For Friendship Day�?and give to each of your friends or potential friends.
