Day 6 - 291 -- Power of Friendship

Another mixed bag of weather today -- a bit of sun, a bit of rain, and lots of cloud. Indoors, laundry and writing tasks filled the day. While working, I found myself thinking of a comment someone had made to me last week. I'd explained how I'd been surprised and grateful when acquaintances had offered help when I was needing it most. The comment noted that I seemed reluctant to ask for help from those closer to me. That really made me stop and think. One would expect support from friends and family before those known from more of a distance. I tried to explore my reluctance to tell others of difficulties encountered, but didn't come up with anything other than feeling weak or looking inept. Why would I expect friends to react that way? <sigh> I don't expect anyone to solve a problem for me, but maybe just to listen to my take on things. I resolved to be brave and let others know when I am facing a problem. It may not be easy, but trying counts for something.

Lyrics of a song fit my musings by reminding me that friendship is a gift. When searching for the version shared here, I discovered that the song is from a Disney movie -- go figure <smile>. Enjoy!
