The Value of True Friendship--- -
Linda DeWitt (1,909)  
Linda DeWitt
When I was a lot younger I used to think all my friends were true friends forever, but with age hopefully comes some wisdom. I have found that true friends are few and far between.

How Do We Offer Help To The Very Proud? -
Camille Strate (1,372) 
Camille Strate
I have a friend who's been dealing with some financial 'challenges' of late. He's a proud man, proud to a fault, it if you know what I mean, and he's always side-stepping when I offer assistance. I do this offering in a very delicate way as I, too, was once too proud for my own good. Something I... ( added 1 year 66 days ago.) |

image of... ( added 1 year 138 days ago.) |

Are You Tuned to Reality? -

Fran Larson
Are you tuned in to reality? Am I tuned in to reality? No, it isn't a radio station or a television channel.
