“The Value of Friendship” by Aellen Daileg

Most of us have friends and anyone can have one. But what is friendship? Friendship is the relationship between friends and that creates closeness and bonds. We all have different definitions of a friend, but for me a friend can be defined as a companion that is always there. Giving his shoulder to comfort you, helping to resolve your problem and making you smile when they notice that you are sad, a friend that ready to hear out your ups and downs stories regard to his life.

When i first met them, we are rivals and strangers with each other. After a lot time we just felt that friendship is urging within us without any word, there are times that gestures were just enough to create a friendship that could withstand any challenges that could come in our way.

The value of a friend is priceless; no one can ever buy the effort that they exert to make their friends the happiest persons in the world. It is hard to find a real friend; sometimes it needs a due process and time to have one.

Sometimes, friendships arise from some conflicts that we encounter such as arguments and misunderstanding but if we could just overcome all of those a greater bond between friends could be obtained and, thus, a stronger and better friendship would eventually arise. Whatever the outcome it may impose, acceptance of each other’s view is a must to build a harmonious relationship between friends, for without acceptance; friendship would not exist at all.

Friendship is a give and take relationship for sometimes we need to be a friend to be able to gain one. We need to watch each other’s back to gain trust and establish such relationship. Friendships are forever and thus we should value our friends like a diamond that could withstand anything that would come to its way. The value of friendship cannot be described by a single word instead we should find it within ourselves and be able to grow it by sharing with others. We should let friendship grow even if we are apart, thus communication is always important to feel a presence of care, a care of a valuable friendship.

I would like you to reflect on this quotation: ‘the greatest value of having good friends is not what you get from them, but the better person you become because of them.'

This week has been productive somewhat. I gave blood on Tuesday, and Jessica and I received our Valentine's Day packages on that day too. On Wednesday when Jessica and I began to Skype, a thought popped up in my mind, saying "You should not be dating her." This is not the first time that this happened, so I gave it some thought. Today is Sunday, and Jessica and I are fasting to confirm this prompting today. Pondering the thought that I should not be dating Jessica was unbearable last night, and I expressed it to her.  Also on Wednesday night, I prayed for a missionary opportunity, and the next day my work situation changed. I did my taxes on Saturday.      The opportunity to give blood became exciting on Tuesday, when I found out that my blood type is O positive. I was told that I can do a special donation where I give double the red blood cells. They said that it was actually easier on the body because they only take the red blood cells, and put the plasma and ever...

My Work and My Interesting Health Situation Currently

This blog post is a segment of the journal entry of Alex Hicken found at the following link:  http://mormonysa.blogspot.com/2015/02/february-22-2015.html      I would like to tell you about my work and my interesting health situation currently. I don't know why I am not feeling well, but yesterday I felt weak at work. On Monday, I felt like my feet and hands were freezing all morning long. On Tuesday or so, I was wondering about my diet because I felt fine, but something was off. I think that I am not getting enough calories. I think that I have been getting about 1000 calories. Since I fasted, I could not eat as much breakfast as usual. I thought that my body was weak not eating enough, and fasting pushed it over the edge; plus, I donated blood last week. My grandma was thinking that I may have a little 24 hour bug to overcome. I think that I was getting about 200-300 calories for breakfast, 300-400 calories for lunch, and 400-600 calories for dinner; which is ...
