September 17th – I can be quiet and still be a friend !!!

 Page for the 17th Of September

What I learned today

“I can be quiet and still be a friend !!!”

Most of the people I call friends in my life are people I have known since childhood or for a good many years. We have seen each other through good time, bad times and alot of the in between times.

One thing we have all learn over the years – is sometimes one of us just needs the other. Not a shoulder to cry on, not the voice of reason or even the voice of calm support – sometimes they just want to know the other is there and that's it.

I try to explain once to someone that knowing my friend will support me without doing anything, without uttering a word or even making any demand can be the biggest help when I am agitated or just in a difficult situation.

One of my friend went for a interview today after too many years out of the work place, without saying a thing a bunch of us just met at a coffee shop on the corner to where she was being interviewed. Like clockwork when she came out she just came to us – because we knew she would just need us to be there – giving quiet support.

Friends – they so make the difference.
