The “Best”…

nuggetsoflearning • March 18, 2019

Forgive the indulgence, the blog is of a very personal nature this week.

One of my “Best” friends died five days ago and it puts everything into perspective.  What is the definition of “Best”.  The dictionary says exceptional or outstanding which I think is perfect to define what you get from a really brilliant friendship.

The list is endless:-

  • Best listener
  • Best times to be had and full of laughter
  • Best walker – with knowledge of all the Surrey Hills
  • Best organiser – parties, events and fund raiser
  • Best at giving an honest opinion
  • Best advice – on parenting and life
  • Best in giving – whether it be plants, time and numerous coffees

The synopsis stills feels inadequate in terms of the void it leaves.  Think about what are the best things about you that you give your friends.  Your self worth will grow knowing what your best attributes are and what you give others.

Cherish the best in friends and family as you may well be robbed without ever telling them what the best was.
