Friends!

I just loved this little picture of these two little friends. I am a fan of therapy (I am studying to become one), but when you can call a friend, use a lifeline, it may be the difference between rescure or despair. In order to have a trusting friend like this, the key is to make sure you don't drain the pool of friendship, keep it full. Being a friend first and being there for someone when they need you is one way to keep the pool flowing. It may take time, the pool may be large and deep. Don't give up! Be grateful for relationships, tell them often, trust others and they will trust you.


Good article
