Good, strong friendships can make our lives immeasurably richer.
Good friends are rare. We have thousands of acquaintances, many associates, but few real friends. Real friends are those we freely select, and for this reason they play a special part in our lives. They provide us with joy, comfort and caring. And because our time with them is limited to relatively short periods together, friendships give us a breather from the intensity of our full-time, primary relationships.
It's important to remember, though, that friendships, like any relationship, need attention and nurturing if they are to remain strong and healthy.
How are your friendships doing? Are you going the extra mile to make sure your friends know how important they are to you?
