Have you ever thought, deeply, about the friends you have had; friends who may, or not, be in your life? Have you rated your ability to make good friends? Have they been loyal, or backstabbers? Have they answered your distress calls? Have they matched your happiness, during good times?
I recently did, after attending an occasion where I witnessed people celebrating over six decades of friendship. I went down memory lane, examined the trail of friends I left behind, those who have kept up, and I must say that I am mostly impressed with my choice.
