Heres a thought for the day. Friendship This is a topic I approach with great trepidation because of a very checkered history with friends. After what happened to me in the Navy, I lost a lot of people who I considered to be my friend. I choose not to talk about that part of the #MST experience in much detail because it is very painful even after all the years that have passed. So, there is a difference between people we might acknowledge in passing as friends and those people who are our friends. We might say oh, yeah, Im friends with Jane in a lighthearted tone when discussing someone we dont know that well but run into frequently, but when we are discussing someone who is a real friend our tone might change and we mellow out to say Johns a friend of mine. Even subconsciously we know the difference between an acquaintance we call a friend and a true friend. Building true and lasting friendships again after any sort of traumatic event is hard. It involves exposing yourself and riding the ups and downs all over again. Building those friendships again hurts while youre doing it, but the rewards are so worth it in the end. Those true friends are people with whom we can share our happiness and sadness, our good days and bad, our light and our dark. I am proud to send the song below, with tears in my eyes, out to those people in my life who are my true friends. Who do you know in your life who is a good friend to you? Do you know enough of these quality people? Are you appropriately thankful of these gems in our lives? https://youtube/watch?v=HyTpu6BmE88
