Report Card for Our Friends

 

Friday -- Bright beautiful September morning. It is slightly cold, 11 C but fine to walk around. I am done with my breakfast, enjoying my morning tea, walking around in my backyard, which has now fully transformed into a back garden with green around. 

Black Squirrel is back in his gym, busy with his exercises on the wooden fence. I miss my pear tree on the left. But there is always time, "to go" for everyone. We have to learn to "Ring out the old and to ring in the new". We have to learn to adjust in the circumstances, available.

To move on, is the key to go forward. What is done, is done. We can not turn the page. Ring in the new, is the only option. Go with the flow. Try to live in the moment, be happy and spread happiness around. 

My youngest daughter called me from Reading. Her daughter was having problems with her fiancee. She was taking her for a drive. She was on speaker, to let me know that her daughter is fine, handling things well. They both were planning to go somewhere to spend time. 

It is always great, to have someone, we trust. We can talk about. We can filter out our inner thoughts, our inside feelings. We don't have to censor our matters. We can show our real face, our real self. Everyone needs that, at times.

It gives power, gives strength to move on, to handle matters, we face in our difficult moments. Everyone needs one of such mentors. Mentor doesn't has to be a big shot or some big figure. He can be anyone, we can trust. That's all is needed. 

Trust is the key in all relationships. It is the scale of trust, we use to classify our friendship levels. We allocate grades to all of our relations, depending on the level of trust, we can have on that person.  

Sometimes our distant friendship surpasses our close relationships. It all depends on the evidence of trust. Trust doesn't develop overnight. It takes time, needs lots of patience and love to flourish.
