Friends: 3 characteristics of a good friend
A friendship can strike up quickly between you and another person or it may grow over time. Both are valid approaches to establishing a friendship. At some point you will realise they are important to you. Your relationship may display many of these characteristics;
- challenge you making the relationship exciting and fun.
- stay with you through the good times and the sad times.
- supportive of each other – your hopes, desires and fears.
Often conversation bounces backwards and forwards between you with each of you listening and giving a considered reply. Good friends love you and can feel as comfortable as an old pair of slippers!
You feel able to ask them for their help and they are there for you if your world comes tumbling down.
Here in the UK lockdown has been eased so we can get back to ‘normal’ or perhaps I should say ‘new normal’. The date we started this process was the 4th July. There is a certain irony with this being Independence Day in the US.
Humanity, of which we are all a part of, is being presented with an opportunity for change – hopefully for the better. Now is a great opportunity for development and healing at the personal, family, community, national and global level.
