A friend is one who knows all about you and still respects you.
A true friend is a priceless gift. When we reveal our hopes, our dreams, and our deepest secrets to others, and they still like and respect us, such people are to be cherished. All too often, the only reason others wish to spend time with us -- to be our friends -- is because of what they perceive we can do for them, not the other way around. A real friendship is reciprocal, one in which each friend benefits equally. You can earn the friendship of others by being the kind of person who deserves respect from friends. When others look up to you, it should make you even more conscious of the responsibility you have to treat them with the same respect you would like them to afford you.

I so love my daily reading today. I love it so much that I have to contact the people that fit this category and thank them. Better yet, buy a card. I have freinds in my life that has been there for me when I was a hot mess!! I may not have spoken to them much but as I reflect, I realize that these people never treated me different neither did they diss me. If I needed to talk, I was able to. If I needed space, I got that too. I am still close to most of them and we look back on the days and just laugh. I love my True Friends.
I don't have to pretend to be someone else nor do i have to go through miraculous acts to please them.
I am grateful
