VIRTUE OF THE MONTH
Friendliness
SEPTEMBER
Friendliness is reaching out to others with warmth and caring. It is the willingness to be an intimate companion. Friendship is essential to our souls. We value ourselves enough to know that we deserve true companionship. We attract others by what we are willing to contribute. What we give we get. The presence of a friend can soothe us, unleash our laughter, amplify our joy and diminish our sorrow. Friends are compassionate witnesses to one another's stories. We share our time, our attention, our love, and above all ourselves. We look upon strangers as friends we haven't met yet. Friendliness is the best cure for loneliness.
