You’ve Got A Friend Here on Active Rain

By
Real Estate Agent with Dirt Road Real Estate SA676002000

As we begin a new week and with the current year almost half over, let us remember “you’ve got a friend.” Now that friend will “come runnin’ to see you again."  Whether it is “winter, spring, summer or fall, All you have to do is call” and your friend will be there.

Here in Active Rain, you have many friends who may be “knockin’ at your door” via phone calls, emails to even a handwritten card.  And “now, ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend, when people can be so cold?”

Those cold people can be demanding real estate clients, sales leads, other colleagues, title firms and yes even family members.  It still is "good to know that you've got a friend" here at Active Rain.

Of course, caring is indeed a two-way street.  When we let others know we care, we are growing ourselves as noted by Lao Tzu who stated “From caring comes courage”

And “courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.” C.S. Lewis

My sense is from caring and courage we have compassion. That compassion can be a smile “the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.” Denis Waitley

YES! With attitudes of caring, courage and compassion we can always remember “you’ve got a friend”  be it here on Active Rain or among your other friends, family members to your colleagues.

P.S. Please consider checking out my Facebook business page, The Grit and Gratitude Agent that will focus on the Dirt Roads in Mohave County as well local real estate, lots of dirt or vacant land parcels as some of the local attractions.

Leanne Smith, Carol King's song was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the title of your blog.

It's always good to have friends, but it is also sad that we have to figure out which of those friends are actually true friends, haha.  I have a strong feeling that you are definitely someone whom I could count on in a time of need, so that tells me that I can trust that you truly are a friend!

Good morning Leanne. So many friends here in the Rain that I would have never met in person it is amazing. And so many I have met in person over the years. Sometimes sure to timing of our participation here we lose contact for a while. If you remember "you got a friend in me", you belong here in the Rain. Thanks for the reminder. Enjoy your day.

So true about friendship doesn't mean physically meeting them.  However it is a bonus when we have the opportunity to meet in person. Thank you and good morning. Hope your town was out of the path of the tornado.
