I was reflecting recently on how lucky I am to have friends who have shared triumphs, surprises, crises and much laughter. There was a time when I was convinced of my own prowess and that I could do just fine all by myself, but hindsight says differently. It amazes me that I have lived this long being so blinded by ego, LOL, but it is the truth.

My new goal is to better cherish my friends, new and old, and even unknown! Because, friendship is the natural order of things, and it is less stressful (I have learned the hard way, of course) to "go with the flow." To that end, here's the latest article from the Baha'i site at BellaOnline.com:

Friendship
Friendship, not competition, is built into all of God's creation, and life will be much better once we acknowledge that each of us is important to the healthy functioning of all of us.
