Sometimes we can't help but to feel a bit sour. Sometimes our outlook is pretty grim. Sometimes all we need to cure our mood is a large dose of friendship. I had the pleasure of spending almost the entire day with a dear friend. As soon as I arrived at her house she confessed that she had such a miserable night she had considered uninviting me. After an hour or so of our visit she told me that she was glad that I had come. Her outlook had changed and her mood had lifted. We all have our moments of weakness and self-doubt. But we should never ever forget that there are people who are in our corner...no matter what. I actually enjoyed being able to simply sit and listen. I had prayed earlier in the day to be able to offer whatever was needed and I felt that listening was best. Sure I had plenty to say...but today was not about me. I love having friends...friends who love me no matter what...and friends whom I love no matter what. Life can be full of bitter lemons...but it's our friends along the way who help turn the bitterness into sweetness.
