True Friends
My friends know that I will always say what's on my mind. That's not always a good thing as I should think before I speak. That's a ongoing struggle for me. I'm glad that my friends still choose me as a friend even though I can be brutal - brutally honest that is.
I've started to read The Book of Awakening. It's a daily devotional type of book. This morning's reading, page 347, was about honest friends. It reminds me that to have a friend, I have to be a friend. I really really liked this line: "Having an honest friend...is a form of wealth that will buy you nothing but will give you everything." (paraphrased of course.)
Even though I can feel lonely at times, I know that I can pick up the phone, send an email or even write a letter to anyone of the friends that I have made over the past 50 years and they will still understand and accept me for me. Thank you for being my friend!
