friends

  What is a friend.  Is it someone who makes you laugh, are they people you meet on the weekends or at a bar. Are your co-workers your friends. How about the person serving you coffee every morning or your mechanic, why not , if they greet you by name if you chat when you see them. Are people in your everyday life not your friends, sure they are or at least they can be.

  In my opinion you cant choose your friends (not your true friends anyway) you can choose who you spend your time with, you can choose who you talk to, you can even choose where you work and where you live.  However you cannot chose who will be there when you are down, when the walls are closing in. Thats when your true friends shine when they show (usually in the nic of time) when they reach out there hand and show they will not let you go.

 During those times you can really appreciate why friends are so important. You never know who they may be or where they will pop up from, only time will tell.

 When it comes to people you meet keep an open heart and a open mind you never know where a great friend may be hiding.
