VITAMIN "F"
Why do we have a variety of friends are all so different in character? How do we get along with them all?
Perhaps it is because each one helps to bring out a "different" part of us.
With one we are polite. We joke with another. We talk about serious matters with one. With another we laugh a lot.
We may listen to one friend's problems. Then listen to another's advice.
Our friends are all like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. When completed, they form our own mosaic which is the most precious treasure life provides. Friends seek first to understand each other, before seeking to be understood ( Steven Covey); Friends are those who support each other always whether the days are good or bad.
Real Age doctors maintain that friends are good for our health. Dr. Oz calls them "Vitamin F" and counts the benefits of friends as essential to our well being. Research is purported to show that people in strong social circles have less risk of depression. If you enjoy Vitamin F constantly you feel vital, vibrant and perhaps even younger than your real age. The warmth of friendship stops stress and even in your most intense moments.
"We should each of us commit to frequent contact with our friendships and realize that our interactions and shared experiences with our friends today will be the memories we carry with us in our tomorrows." fsm
They are among the most precious of gifts the universe offers.
" To have a friend you must first be a friend;
and, our friends are the family we make for ourselves" NJC
