Just say it!

Got this "Healthy Reflection" today. How long has it been since you've told your true friends you love and appreciate them?


Sharing with a friend

We all have a handful of acquaintances--those people with whom we work or see at the playground and casually say hello and move on.

But a friend is someone you confide in, bring over for an afternoon cup of coffee, invite to your wedding, or cry with when a loved one passes away.

You just feel a sense of safety with a friend.

Don't wait until a rainy day to express how much a good friend means to you.

Often we are unaware of how much we mean to others until they speak up, and likewise we never know how much another person might truly need to hear such affirmations.

An approving, cheerful word of encouragement can thrill a heart.

Be sure to always say kind words before you part, show sympathy during hard times and affection during wonderful ones.

Life would not be the same without positive friendships. Express your gratitude to someone today who has made a difference in your world!

If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be sealed to a priesthood holder. I wouldn't love the Book of Mormon like I do and I would have NEVER survived that bank robbery. I love you and though we don't see each other nearly as often as we should, you are my sister/friend eternally.
