I was talking to a friend the other day and relating a story of something, not so clever, that I had done recently. In order to "illustrate" my point I put my hand on my forehead with the thumb extended to form the letter "L". You probably know what I mean, I was not being very kind to myself - indicating that I was a "loser". I loved her reaction, she told me that L must be for Learner. It was her way of reminding me not to be so hard on myself and that I can and did learn something from the situation. I hope you all have some friends like that, who don't let you be too hard on yourself, they are such a blessing!
A quote I found recently by Mark Twain said "The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are right."
A friend (when you are) in need (of encouragement) is a friend indeed!
