Jun. 4th, 2006 05:35 pmAnd am back at the point of "bored" again...still, no complaints at the moment. Thoughts are streaming into the cosmos for friends who need em...friends who are job hunting, worrying about life, jobs and all the rest. I'm stressed, but still lucky.
And so, an e-mail was delivered to me, and I shall repeat it here..
I HATE the e-mail "Forward these to all you know to show they are loved, and send it back to me" mails...if I get those, I rarely pass them on, as my friends should truly know how I feel about them...if anything I will start posting good ones here. The thoughts in most of those are things that we know, but forget, or slide past in the chaotic day to day. So, here's this one. No need to pass it along, unless you wish to. :-P I know how you all feel about me..both the good and the bad.
REAL FRIEND TEST !
This is GOOD.
A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself (and doesn't feel even the least bit weird shutting your 'beer/Pepsi drawer' with her foot!)
A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears..
A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.
A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.
A simple friend hates it when you call after they've gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.
A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems. A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.
A simple friend wonders about your romantic history. A real friend could blackmail you with it.
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument. A real friend calls you after you had a fight.
A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real friend expects to always be there for you!
A simple friend reads this e-mail and deletes it. A real friend passes it on and sends it back to you!
Pass this on to anyone you care about......if you get it back you have no beginning, no end.
It keeps us toPass it on to someone who is a friend to you...gether, like our Circle of Friends.
