Ways to be a better friend.

4 Ways to be a Better Friend 

1. People are the Priority:
What’s more of a priority than a person? 
2. Live Maskless:
Bare your faults and the foibles and messy laundry room. The only way to see into another soul — is to be transparent yourself.
3. Speak Life:
Share freely of your feelings because this may just free us  – of the prisons of protection we’ve bound ourselves in.
Only speak words that make souls stronger — and speak ill of no one and well of everyone. 
4. Get together:
Put on the kettle. Set an extra plate at the table. Call her and ask her if she wants to go for walk. Write a letter. Pick up the phone.

My sweet sister Jennifer to me is such a grand example of a true friend she is always makes me a priority and has sweet calm words for her crazy sister on days I need to hear calm. Most importantly I don't think I ever really remember her speaking badly of another person.   I love you Jennifer and thanks for teaching me about true friendship.   Angela
