“This communicating of a man’s self to his friend works two contrary effects, for it redoubleth joys, and cutteth griefs in half.” – Francis Bacon
Having great friends is part of living a long satisfying life. I don’t mean the friends you party with, or the ones you see here and there. I mean the ones who you have a deep trusting relationship with, who will do anything for you if you needed it. Ones who care enough to call you out a bit when you need a course correction. Ones who are there for the high points in your life, and the low ones too.
You don’t need two dozen friends like this, a small handful will do.
Who are your friends like this?
If you need a few more here’s how to get them – be a friend like this first.
A man will have hundreds of buddies in his life time, but only a few that are Worthy of calling a True Friend!
Larry,
I am Proud to call you a dear Friend!

I belong to a women’s group that formed 42 years ago as we dealt with misogynistic men in the workplace as we gained more authoritative positions in our careers. We still meet twice a month and these dear friends will be there for each other for life. We continue to count on all the varied skills in the group- help is just a phone call away! I am blessed.
On the top of my list Kara Gouse!!
Thank you for being such a wonderful person and a great friend!
I am grateful for our friendship.
