CHEROKEE PRAYER BLESSING
May the warm winds of heaven Blow softly upon your lodge.
May the Great Spirit, Bless all who enter there.
May your mocassins Make happy tracks In many snows,
And may the rainbow Always touch your shoulder.

Sometimes friends come and go. Sometimes people need to take time to reflect on the past in order to realize who their real friends are. True friends who have separated over false accusations or misinformation ... tend to reunite after the dust has settled, so to speak.
What is a true friend? What makes one person there, truly, more than the next. We all go through life with different people by our sides at different times in our lives. But some people distinguish themselves. They are true friends.
There are times in all of our lives when we need the comfort and solace of someone who understands completely and continues to help us when we are at our worst, perhaps even exhausting them.
Going through a time of crisis reveals who real friends are. It’s not to say that those who are not there for you in these bad times are not good people or good friends. But you get to see their true dedication and moral character when you face adversity.
But your real, true, friends are the ones who come through with flying colors, when you do not even have to ask. There is something magical about the bonds of true friendship. Though you may not have many kinds of these people in your life, be thankful for the ones who are there. The people in our lives are a blessing.
You can value people in your life who are not “till the end” friends. These people have just as much to offer, and it should be said that each person in your life is there for a reason. We, I believe, are on a journey. We are here to learn and we are here to find truth and understanding.
Everything and everyone has a purpose.
Peace ~ to our friends ...Kel
