This time of year anything under 100 degrees starts to feel like maybe fall is coming... and, no one is looking forward to that more than I am.
I was out mowing my walking trails this afternoon with the hopes of being able to start walking again soon. While I was mowing I was thinking, you know, just random stuff and I wanted to ask you guys something.
I know how to be a good wife, I know how to be a good mom, but, honestly, I don't think I know how to be a good friend. I would really like for you to tell me what, in your opinion, makes a good friend - what you require from a friend?
I truly value your opinions and I think it would help me to know what you have to say on this subject.
Thank you!

To me one quality of a good friend is someone who cares about you just because you are you. They don't care because they expect you to care in return. Another is that they give their opinion but don't judge. They can warn you about a mistake you might be making, but they will also be the one to help you clean up after it. Ultimately a good friend is someone you can be you around and not worry if they will accept you or not.
While I don't think a good friend has to give and take in equal proportions, I do feel that in a good friendship, neither friend feels taken advantage of or taken for granted.
The more I write, the more I miss my friends.
Sandra really hit it all! You can just BE with a good friend. I do not have anyone here that I would call a close friend, and this makes me miss mine too! I think I have only about 3 or 4 friends that fit Sandras description. CV is #1 and she knows me brtter than all the rest. She has been there for me during the most important events in my life. When I do get together with these friends it is like we were never apart.
How to be a good friend...Unconditional Love. Support. Encouragement. Stubborness....
A true friend can be made quickly, but only realized over the years and decades.
