Do friends really ever go? I think not. A true friend could be away a long time and the minute you see them, you feel the re-connection. I have been very fortunate to have had many close intimate friends in my real life AND online."Friendship isn't a big thing. It's a million little things."
It is those million little things that for ever remain with us, good and/or bad. A very important relationship I give so much to is my 16 year old. She has been a hard child, since birth. It seems there is always something, and when I say something, she does it in a huge way. Currently, she experiences panic attacks, or anxiety attacks. Thankfully, she is prescribed Klonopin, which seems to settle the attacks for her in around 45 minutes. She takes Zoloft, too. Her side effect is usually nausea. We take one day at a time.
How do we keep our inner fire alive? Two things, at minimum, are needed: an ability to appreciate the positives in our life – and a commitment to action. Every day, it's important to ask and answer these questions: ‘What's good in my life?’ and ‘What needs to be done?'" ~Nathaniel Branden, ...Canadian Author and Psychologist.
"Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way." ~ Aristotle
It is good to be particular with those you call friends. I am very particular who I let into my *circle*. Circles, boundries are a valuable tool, to help maintain perspective and balance.
"At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want." ~ Lao Tzu
So to all my friends, thank you for being exactly who you are IN my life. I truly often feel blessed and fortunate!!!!!
