(90,796 posts)41. Thank you so much for this, LuckyCharms!
Soooooooo much to think about. Sooooooooo much to learn from it, and from you.
Thank you for this wisdom essay (Id guess one could call it!). You remind me of one of the most meaningful things my dad taught me: to make a friend, you have to BE a friend.
Boy oh boy, talk about truer words never spoken. I didnt get much of My Dad The Philosopher. But I DID get that little truism. And its stayed with me (and enlightened, inspired, and helped me) to this very day.
