Daily Gratitude: “Of all possessions a friend is the most precious.”

This is so true and so applicable to my life right now. I haven’t been a very good friend lately and it’s taken a lot of meditation and reflection to realize it. My hope is that we both have learned something about the other throughout this time.

Even when there are disagreements and disappointments, it’s important to realize that sometimes your possessions just need to be dusted and maybe even rotated a bit to get better light on a certain aspect of it. If we don’t turn things around sometimes then we might not see all the beauty. It’s hard to see it all if we’re always looking at the same spot.

Same goes with our friendships. We need different perspectives at times. This helps us see all the fabulous qualities in the other person. Each person brings so much to the relationship but often we forget that because just as in life we get into ruts. It helps to stand on our heads (figuratively) to see what the other person brings to the venture when seen from a different point of view.

Never give up
