Surround Yourself With People Who Care About You.

I do not mean people who merely say they care, but people who truly, sincerely care.

They…Respect You.

They respect what you enjoy in life: the things you like to watch, music you listen to,  the way you dress.  They respect your boundaries and beliefs at all times.

They…Honor You.

This could mean something like bringing you a cup of coffee or some chocolate when you need a pick me up, or even a simple note of encouragement, or saying what they appreciate about you.  Even just making time for you when they really do not have any to give.

They… Lift You Up.

This goes along with both Respect and Honor.  Someone who honestly cares about you will not tear you down with words or gestures, no, they are going to want to do anything they can to make you feel good about yourself.

I encourage any of you who are reading this, please, do not spend time and energy on “friends” who are not displaying these things.  And for those of you reading who are not doing this yourself, it is never to late to step up and be a better person.  Show the ones you love that you care!

Peace and Love,
