Friendship

This weekend I spent all day Saturday with my younger sister. Planning her upcoming wedding. My sister and I are very close. Opposites but close. She is a very free-spirited personality. I am an A-type personality. She says I help her keep things in perspective. She and I are really good friends.
After spending the day with her, on my drive home (about 2 hours in the car), I was pondering the friendships that I have shared so far in my lifetime. Many have come and gone, some are still friends, some just acquaintances, few are close friends. Life seems to keep changing. Our lives intertwine with different people at different times. Some friendships last for a short time and some last forever. My sister is one of the constants in my life. She and I are always there for each other.
Take time to let your friends know that you appreciate them. Spend time with them. Do not take them for granted. Never be too busy to make new friends and nurture the friendships. Otherwise you end up sad and lonely. Families are great but so are friends! They help get us through life.
