I’m a old man. I’ve been so busy with the outer accoutrements of life I’m ashamed to say now that I treated friendship with poor attention. The importance of friendship was been a slow to come to be realized. Partly it is because those ‘outer accouterments of life’ have shown their true value — not so much. Partly, I think, it is that I’m closer to death. We’ll see.
Some people naturally fall into the strong friendship mode, me, not so much. I have to work at it. To that end, developing a couple of small out-going habits is helping.
“Of the means which are procured by wisdom to ensure happiness throughout the whole of life, by far the most important is the acquisition of friends.”
This is a journal entry meant as a reminder to me. It is a reminder to me how I want to operate and some tips put together in a moment of clarity to help when I am less clear and caught up in stuff the I can’t control. Continue the conversation anytime: will@kestrelcreek.com.
