how to be a better friend

friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "what! you too! i thought i was the only one.

~ c.s. lewis

family friends for a long time

daddies can be real good friends

oh! angie!

this guy, is my best friend! not the best picture of us, but it'll do!

these two are the all time sweetest friends

i read this article over here  and i loved it. i struggle sometimes on being a good friend. i get to involved in my own world, the girls, my hubby, my fears, obsessions, jealousy, and worries.  but the truth is: 
friends really make life half as hard and twice as good! 

sometimes jay will come home, and he will walk in the door, eyes searching for a soft place to fall after a hard days work.  and then he says it to me, not in a demeaning way, but as a simple honest, wondering question: "what did you do today?"  and i reply with this:  
"i am building relationships!"
and he says "oh."


is there a sweet soul you need to call today?  or write?  or maybe have some tea, and go for a long walk?  you won't be sad you put off the dishes, or the dusting, (do people really dust?)
i have a kindred today that i need to connect with. now go.  make a phone call!
