Hold a true friend with both hands. - Nigerian Proverb

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you. - Elbert Hubbar

For some reason today, I was thinking about how rich I am with the friends that are in my life. I don’t talk to some for weeks and others I talk to almost every day. It really doesn’t seem to matter. With this core group of friends, time and distance doesn’t have any meaning. It only takes a few minutes to re-connect, catch up and get on with our conversation as if it had just ended 5 minutes ago.

True friends accept you as you are, regardless of your quirks, eccentricities or opinions. They are the ones that support you when times are tough and the ones who help you celebrate when everything is going great in your life.

The sense of trust I have with my friends is a big factor also. They can be counted on for their integrity, honest words and ability to adapt to change. Plus their sense of humor is something I can count on.

I wouldn’t trade them for the world.

Thanks to all of you. You know who you are.
