Today I lunched with two "old friends" - old not so much in years, but friends I have known since they were University students, and who now I see only occasionally. However, whenever we meet it is as if we have never been apart. It was good to reminisce, to catch up , to anticipate each others' future plans. It made me reflect on other friendships - some I am unable to contact, others who fail to respond when I do. I do not take friendship lightly and my thoughts are spelled out below.
FRIENDS...
Faithful......consistent
Realistic....accept you as you are, no undue expectations
Interested...in your life and what makes 'you' you.
Enjoys.....your company, communications, opinions
Natural....no pretences, masks or 'game-playing'
Determined....to fight for a relationship that is valued
Share...hopes and fears, aspirations and dreams, heartaches and joys
