Flowers and Friends

I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here than a whole truck load when I'm gone. Happiness keeps you sweet, trials keep you strong, sorrows keep you human, failures keep you humble, success keeps you glowing, but ... only friends keep you going! (Anonymous)

I appreciate how this highlights the power and importance of friends and relationships. They are a refuge in life's everyday battles and have a way of bringing us perspective we might not otherwise have. During this season of my life with family and multiple jobs I know I have not paid enough attention to my friends. I don't want to have regrets about that so I know it's time to do something different. What are ways you prioritize your friendships amongst the demands of life? Share your comments below.
