Remembering old friendships has me thinking of blooming flowers all over the place. Cherishing those old friendships should be strongly valued even when you don't call each other everyday due to our busy lives with family, career and children. This beautiful old dogwood is a pretty picture that represents how I feel when rediscovering old friends and acquiring new ones. Characteristics of a valued friend to me are the following: trust, honesty, loyalty, dignity, showing empathy and consideration and lastly just having a good frame of mind. Thanks so much for reading and have a great Sunday! ~ Marissa
