Friendship is really important to me. One of the biggest lessons I've learned about friendship is that friendship takes effort. It is not all fun and games and here's why:
Well for one there is the friendship of inconvenience: one where you don't see the friend on a daily basis or even at a routine function. If your friendship with another is one of inconvenience, then it takes compromise. You have to PLAN to see these people and you have to put forth the energy to stay involved with one another.
Also, when a friend goes through a rough patch, real friends don't jump ship. They are there--calling to check in, bringing over dinner or taking the friend out for a night on the town! Even when a friend is being a Debbie Downer, a real friend will overlook it and ride it out for better times.
Thank God for all of my good friends. <3
