By: Martin Sawdon
1) When you forget the song in your heart, a friend is someone who sings it
back to you. (Helen Steiner)
2) A friend’s support is unconditional: when the going gets tough a friend
is right there beside you.
3) A friend has seen you at your worst and loves you even so.
4) A friend is someone with whom you can share secrets in confidence.
5) You can phone a friend for help even in the middle of the night.
6) A friend is honest with you, deflates your ego and inflates your Self.
7) A friend shares your sense of humour, provides nourishment and
inspiration for the mind.
A friend is drawn to you not not for what you are but who you are.
9) When you share your wildest dreams, a friend is someone who replies,
quote, How can I help? unquote.
10) Thinking about Needs and Values, once you have recognized those Needs
which,satisfied, enable you to be the best person you possibly can be, a
friend will help you get them met.
…….And a friend will say all of the above about you too!
