THE
ABC'S OF FRIENDSHIP
A lways be honest, would you
want THEM to lie to you?
B e there when they need you,
or you may wind up alone.
C heer them on; we all need
encouragement now and then.
D on't look for their faults,
even if you have none.
E ncourage their dreams; what
would we be without them?
F orgive them; you just MAY
do something wrong sometime.
G et together often;misery
loves company, so does glee.
H ave faith in them; the
human animal is remarkable.
I nclude them; you may
need to be included sometime.
J ust be there when they need
you.
K now when they need a
hug..... and couldn't you use one?
L ove them unconditionally;
that is the ONLY condition.
M ake them feel special,
because aren't we ALL special?
N ever forget them; who wants
to feel forgotten?
O ffer to help, and know when
"No thanks" is just politeness.
P raise them honestly and
openly.
Q uietly disagree; noisy NO's
make enemies.
R eally listen; a friendly
ear is a soothing balm.
S ay you're sorry; don't let
them assume it.
T alk frequently;
communication is important.
U se good judgment.
V erbalize your feelings!
W ish them luck, hopefully
good!

you "help" out.
Y our words count; use them
wisely.
Z ip your lips when told a
secret.
By following these ABC's as often as you are able, you SHOULD live a
LONG and friend-filled life.
P.S. Remember...the person who sent it to YOU is also a friend...they
cared enough to forward you love.
Live Life, Feel Love, Give Hugs, and Laff Lots !!
