The Words I Would Say

The bonds of friendship cannot be explained, it goes deeper than just being there for one another as we often define it to be. I have a deep desire to talk about friendship because it is such an abstract bond, one which I only imagine when I am lonely, one I only think about when I really need to, one which I dream of becoming everyday to the people in my life. What is friendship? It is defined as the mutual feelings of trust and affection and the behavior that typify relationships between friends. Taking this definition piece by piece and really appreciating its true meaning would require more than just a blog; it would require a lifetime experience, not one you read in books, but one only you can feel in your heart. But I would try. The whole concept of trust is one which to a large extent has been neglected. Our families are broken, our relationships with the people we love are being severed by ‘you don’t trust me and I certainly don’t trust you’ kind of thinking. But first of a...

As I write this, I’m kind of thinking this is a funny topic – Breathe. But this concept has been gaining my attention for the past few weeks.

There is a time for everything under the sun, a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to ...

Encouragement according to a well known dictionary is support of a kind that inspires confidence and a will to continue or develop. I think the definition fits the word, or doesn’t it? This word in question requires a great need, a man or woman does not need this word unless that need is there. Encouragement. I’m pretty sure this sounds like an everyday word when you say it. I mean, its meaning has never really sunk deep enough for it to have an effect in most people’s lives. We use and misuse this word as much as we like but it goes a long way in doing and undoing in the lives of people.                 “Encouragement”, each time you say or don’t say that word or act it in every instance and with everybody, something goes off or comes on in the lives of those affected. Encouragement could come in lots of forms; it could be a pat on the back, or just a word, or just a hug,...
