My friends are a blessing, a fruit of life. My close friends are there for me through thick and thin. For this very reason, I consider maintaining my friendships to be a priority.
I am guilt-free when I take the time to get together with my friends. My family understands the importance of good friendships and encourages my relationships with my friends.
Life would be incredibly boring without a good dose of laughs with my friends. We lovingly witness significant and beautiful changes in each other’s lives.
I am perfectly aware that friendship is a two way street. I ensure that I nurture my friendships on a regular basis. If my best friend’s son is starring in a play, I am there and bringing the popcorn! When my friend’s car runs out of gas on the highway, I am the first one to offer a ride.
I am certain that my friends would do the same for me. We love each other dearly and are always there for each other. I keep my friends close because they keep me feeling young, alive, and secure in the knowledge that I always have someone I can depend on.
Today, I cherish my friendships. Regardless of what life throws my way, I always ensure that my good friends and I remain connected.
