The ABC’s of Friendship

Always be honest.
Be there when they need you, or you may wind up alone.
Cheer them on;  we all  need encouragement now and then.
Don’t look for their faults, even if you have none.
Encourage their dreams;  what would we be without them?
Forgive them;  you just MAY do something wrong sometime.
Get together often;  misery loves company.
Have faith in them;  the human animal is remarkable.
Include them;  you may need to be included sometime.
Just be there when they need you. 
Know when they need a hug…  and couldn’t you use one?
Love them unconditionally;  that is the ONLY condition.
Make them feel special, because aren’t we ALL special?
Never forget them;  who wants to feel forgotten?
Offer to help, and know when ‘no thanks’ is just politeness.
Praise them honestly and openly.
Quietly disagree;  noisy NO’s make enemies.
Really listen;  a friendly ear is a soothing balm.
Say you’re sorry;  don’t let them assume it.
Talk frequently;  communication is important.
Use good judgement.
Verbalize your feelings.
Wish them luck, hopefully good!
Xamine your motives before you ‘help’ out.
Your words count;  use them wisely.
Zip your lips when told a secret.

Live life, Feel Love, Give Hugs, and Laugh Lots!!!
