What do you do?

If you missed it, I was guest posting over at HanniePants’ blog a couple of days ago; do check out and comment on the post there!

What do you do when you want to help a good friend…. but they maybe don’t see what you are trying to do. Maybe they do know that you want to lend them that set of ears, but they just need that little bit of space to think things through. This is where a friendship become challenging.

How well do you know your friend to find you and trust you in their moment of need?

A huge part of this comes down to the strength of trust between your friend and yourself. You may have the best of friendships with somebody, have all the trust in the world in that person, but the strength of that trust may be fragile. It may well be that the “issue” which is bothering your friend may be unrelated to you. It could be that you or nobody is the best person to give an opinion.

Whatever it is, one hopes and prays that at the end of it all, your friend gets back to their fighting best knowing well that they were always in your thoughts, and you were always that one step away from them if they looked your way.

Thanks for hosting me H, you certainly DO rock, and hope to see you in action soon!!
