The great thing about new friends is that they bring new energy to your soul.

~Shanna Rodriguez

We sometimes look into a face, and we see the Other. Other times, we look into a person's eyes, and we only see the Differences Between Us. As recovering addicts, we have known the pain of disconnection from other people. Why, then, would we want to continue that disconnection by not having people of many different backgrounds, sex, and genders in our lives? No matter what boundaries we may have to set in our lives because of our addiction, the gifts we receive from each other are many and invaluable. It is still possible for us to grow friendships.

A way to start exploring the gifts of friendship is to have diverse friends. With friends we can be ourselves. We can make mistakes; we can share activities; we can talk. We can call on and support in each other the subtleties and strengths we carry as individuals. We can learn from each other.

Is there someone I know who I'd like to spend more time with as a friend? I will be vulnerable and reach out to start new friendships.''

Today's reading is from the book Answers in the Heart
