Being a friend.  Keeping a friend.

Extended friendship warranty, part 2

 Gossip kindly. Grimace inwardly when we hear ourselves say ill considered, unkind words.

 When we care it’s heard in our voice tone, word choice and seen in our body language.  Communicate care-fully.

 A true friend doesn’t protect weaknesses.  We encourage strengths.

 Be emotionally honest. 

We don’t have to reveal everything but getting to the “who I am” level is great.  And it’s when we are most vulnerable. 

That’s good.
