I write a blog and I sometimes write in a personal fashion, and people connect to that. Friendship is not a state of mind, it’s an act. It’s something you do, it’s not about whether you’re good or not, it’s not a reflection of you, it’s a balanced relationship between people. That doesn’t mean it’s always balanced at every moment. Sometimes you “need a friend” and other times it’s the other way. It’s a trust that’s returned. Friendship and love are not quite the same thing, although there’s a lot of love around friendship.
sometimes in friendships we're quick to blame others in times of trouble. But there are friends that just do the right things at the right moments. My best friend is an example. I'm not saying everything is perfect – we've had our fair share of rough patches but there are times when I needed her and she just seem to be there. She makes things so easy for me even when I'm down depressed to the rock bottom.
So take a moment and think about a friend who's been there for a long time and who had always helped you and appreciate them. Here's just a couple of points on how you can do that:
* Make your friend a mixed CD of all the songs that define your friendship (or ones that you just happen to mutually like!)
* Submit a Friendship Tribute to your friend to be posted on the web.
* Call all those old friends you haven't spoken to in ages.. remember the girl scout motto: "Make new friends and keep the old, one is silver and the other gold"!
* Write a nice card for your friend telling them how much you appreciate their friendship.
* Spill out your heart to them as though there is no tomorrow.
* Make a special friendship book for your best friend. Include photos, quotes and poetry telling your friends how special they are.
* Send your friend a Happy Friendship Day greeting online to brighten their day.
