The Value of Friendship

I watch, read, and listen to my friends in their blogs, and on Facebook, and it reminds me that even though we can express our thoughts every day, in every way (doesn't that rhyme nice), none of it matters much without feedback from our friends.  Friends are wonderful in so many ways:  they give us sustenance and support through difficult times, they give us confidence to face up to our weaknesses and fears, and they give us comfort when it seems that nothing else is available to us.  We may rely on our husbands and children for love and affection, but we rely on our friends for truth, honesty, and sometimes, just being there when everyone else doesn't seem to care.  So this post is all about.....friends....thanks.....you know who you are.....more than that.....you know who you could be....go out and be a friend today to someone who just might ask you a question and need a real honest answer....
