You just don’t luck into things as much as you’d like to think that you do. You build step by step, whether it’s friendships or opportunities.
~Barbara Bush
Friendships are built step by step. You meet someone you really like. You discover that you have similar interests and perhaps even similar acquaintances. You invite the other to spend time with you, and you get to know them better. You make memories, share dreams, support each other, and celebrate together. And over time, you develop a strong bond that becomes a part of you. Whether your friendship started from childhood, from high school, from college, or later, these connections are not put together by chance—although you may feel very lucky for having met. These kindred spirits come into your life and are nurtured by time, attention, vulnerability, and care. These relationships are blessings that enhance your life because these individuals took the risk and chose to get close. Seasons of your life change starting with autumn, as does the desire to shed old masks. When winter comes, your friendships will bring you warmth as the cold sets in. And when you are ready, they will help you spring into a new life. Then, time to enjoy ties of love and support as you enjoy the summer fun with those who have stood by your side. All seasons of a friendship allow you to build, step by step, a beautiful life.
