~ Recipe For Friendship ~  (Best prepared with love!)

Ingredients:

As many cups of love as you can carry.
One sturdy shoulder (two is better).
An ear that will listen.

A heart that can feel.
A soul that will respond.
Laughter, giggles, and a few tears.
Never-ending supply of kind words.
A large supply of hugs, kisses, and more hugs.

Preparation:

Get out the biggest bowl you can find.  Add together
the cups of love you carried, don't worry about spilling
any, you always should have extra just in case.

Sometimes in preparation of a friendship, tears may
fall.  This is where the shoulder will come in handy.
Like I said, two is better, especially if the first one gets
tired or wet.  This is also where the ear part come in;
sit back, shoulders ready for your friend to lay his/her
head upon, and listen.

In preparing a friendship you will need a heart that is
capable of feeling.  Not just a warm feeling in your
heart, but a pull so strong that you feel as if there is
no comparison to any other feeling you may have for
someone else.

Add laughter, giggles, and tears to the above ingredients,
and you are in for a special treat that so few people know
how to make.  In a true soul-to-soul friendship, there will
be laughter.  There will be giggles.  And, there will also be
tears (the shoulders are already prepared).  Now, don't
panic.  You've come this far, we are almost near the end.
Add kind words and commitment.

Mix all of these ingredients together, and I promise you
a wonderful, eternal friendship.  And with this will come
all the hugs and kisses that you will ever need.  You simply
have to ask.  Or, if the friendship is really mixed well, you
may never have to ask.  It will be a given.

Good luck with your recipe for friendship.  I hope that you
had all of the ingredients, and that you mixed them well.
This recipe will last you a lifetime. Serve often and enjoy!
