As this podcast has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, good friends are important for every individual. Each week, Michelle and Suzanne demonstrate how absolutely true this is, and today, they reflect upon not only the value of having good friends, but how blessed they themselves have been in this area in their own lives.

They begin by discussing the nature of friendship, the friends that have been integral to their lives, and also how some friendships fall apart. They then look at how certain situations can change the dynamics of a friendship, how they ensure that they keep in touch with their friends, and the qualities of a good friend. They touch upon why it is necessary to appreciate people for who they are rather than expecting too much, and conclude by exploring how not all friendships may turn out to be good friendships. Each episode of the 'Orange Juice Optional' podcast clearly proves that our hosts are truly experts in the area of friendship, and today's show provides even more conclusive evidence of this happy fact.

Quotes:

“And you know, really, it came down to making that conscious choice that this person matters. And I’m going to devote the time, the follow up, and everything to be a good friend, where before I might not have had the time, or I might have rushed it or forgot to return a text, which I hate to do.’’

“If a person is approachable, that would be the number one thing I look for - is the person welcoming in their approach?’’

“The other thing that I used to have issues with is if my friend wasn’t perfect in my eyes. And again, I had an aha moment where it’s like, ‘Wait a second, nobody’s perfect!’’’
