Reflections.......


Friends are so important in our life.  There are many kinds of friends that will come and go throughout your life.  I value each and every friend that I have had the privilege of knowing.  Friends held guide us through our lives, they teach us new things about the environment around us, our jobs, even about ourselves.  Each person who comes into our lives has a role to play.  And each person we let into our lives gives us meaning, they show us that we are not alone in the world, that we are appreciated and cared for.  The best part about being a friend is that we give back to them that which they have given to us.

 

There are several types of friends.  You have probably had many different kinds of friends through the years and here is a list of the types of friend that you will or may have encountered in your life.

The best friend                                          The selfish friend
The confidant                                            The understanding friend
The cool friend                                          The trusted friend
The geek friend                                         The friend of the heart
The platonic friend                                    The lonely friend 
The shy friend                                            The genius friend
The adventurous friend                              The rude friend
The comedian friend                                  The friend without a filter
The travel friend                                        The loud friend
The work friend                                         The quiet friend
The friend of convenience                         The judgemental friend
The mentor or guide                                   The no it all friend
The party friend                                          The friend that can't be alone
The dangerous friend                                  The you aspire to be like
The unreliable friend                                   The friend you can't do without
The joker friend                                          The who doesn't know your other friends
The manipulative friend                              The friend who needs to be better than you
The friend who always lets you down         The friend you have know longer than yourself

The list can go on and on.  There are so many types of friends and people who come and go throughout your life.  Each person you meet teaches you something.  It could be anything.  Try to learn something from each friend you have and in return hopefully you can teach them something too.  We all need to learn and grow and our friends help us do that it so many ways.  Reach out and be a friend to someone or call a friend you haven't seen in awhile.  It's always nice to stay in touch with people we value as friends.  Our friends know we are not perfect, that we are trying to do better, that we stumble and fall.  Our friends are there to give us a hand, help us rise up and help us to do better.
