This morning my friend left. I was sad
to see her go, but one must always return 
home. Made me think, in this precarious 
world, friendship is such an amazing gift. 
With all the negativity surrounding us at 
present, 'tis a most wondrous thing to be 
reminded of its power and blessings to us.

What does being a real friend NOT look 
like? Certainly, it's not just a celebration
on February 14th. Neither is it about our
convenience. And obviously we don't 
plan for inconvenience. Things happen
when they happen.

So, what does being a real friend actually
look like? Perhaps 'tis the odd card in the
mail. An unexpected note in our e-mail.
Maybe flowers sent from time to time or
a special gift when it's no one's birthday.
Still, listening is one of the greatest gifts
we can give . . . and simply 'being there'
when needed. God help me remember . . .

so loved seeing you
will there be another time
much joy in sharing
