I just wanted to write down some of what Shannon shared with us, for those of you who weren't able to be there, and for those of us who won't remember when we try! And of course there's a few of my thoughts tossed in.
True friendships are like the items in your purse:
True friendships are like your checkbook: they balance. (Hopefully!) Each person is on the giving and receiving end. They are not receipts which you double check with a fine tooth comb, but they fairly balanced accounts with free-flowing deposits and withdrawals.
True friendships are like coupons and giftcards: chalked full of fun and rewards. They are built on common ground and matching coupons.
True friendships are like your lipstick (on your teeth): they point it out! Sometimes you make a fool of yourself, but they love you anyway, and help you put your best foot forward.
True friendships are (not) like your sunglasses: they keep you accountable when you just want to hide. You don't have to wear your sunglasses to hide what's really going one with your friends. They can already tell, and they care enough to ask.
True friendships are like hand-sanitizer: they clean off the gunk. Sometimes they're painfully honest and it stings. But speaking the truth in love is a valuable thing in a friend.
True friendships are like your keys: they give you access into each other's life. Friendships that are safe enough to allow open doors into your soul are truly a wonderful thing!
I hope each of you has some True Friendships!
