“True friends see who we really are, hear our words and the feelings behind them, hold us in the safe harbor of their embrace, and accept us as we are. Good friends mirror our best back to us, forgive us our worst, and believe we will evolve into wise, wacky, and wonderful old people. Dear friends give us their undivided attention, encourage us to laugh, and entice us into silliness. And we do the same for them. A true friend gives us the courage to be ourselves because he or she is with us always and in all ways. In the safety of such friendships, our hearts can fully open.” PeopleWayGivingBelieveHeartFeelingsFriendshipBehindsAttentionAcceptingLaughingWiseWonderfulWorstSafeMirrorsSafetyEmbraceForgivingDearEvolveGood FriendOld PeopleTrue FriendHarborsOur WordsDear FriendWackySillinessUndivided AttentionSafe Harbor Author:Sue Thoele
