I once had a friend tell me that I was not a good friend because she expected her friends to go shopping, go to the movies and various other activites. These are two things I absolutely hate. I thought about this for a long time if I was a bad friend. Then I thought that we have different friends for different reason and we should not expect each friend to satisfy all our needs. I have my friends I exercise with. I have my friends I scrapbook with. I have my friends I travel with. I have my friends that involve activities with our children or my husband and so on. I don’t expect my scrapbooking friends to go on a 30 mile bike ride or my scrapbooking friends to hang out with me and my son at the zoo. I cherish each friend for the reason we are friends.

Building friendship, i.e. giving effortlessly more and more is more difficult. You need to keep reaching in yourself to keep giving. Giving is an endless beginning. Just My Humble Opinion If you’re a true friend, maintenance is a forgone conclusion. Building friendship, i.e. giving effortlessly more and more is more difficult.
You need to keep reaching in yourself to keep giving. Giving is an
endless beginning.
