“The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.” — Paulo Coelho
I am blessed by wise friends who show me a better way.
They’ve taught me the skills required for solid friendships. They remind me that darkness gives way to light. They listen, even when I get carried away. They see and believe in my innate goodness and forgive my faults. They fill me up and send me out into the world to love and learn and help. I try to do the same for them.
In this season of gift-giving, hemmed in by fear and isolation, the gift we need most is friendship. To each friend I say with my whole heart, I love you dearly and I wish you a lovely Christmas and a fresh new year.
