Dear Friend by Michelle Maros

 

When my son was little, I was obviously new to parenting. But parenting alone, without the help of family is a whole different game. So when I woke up every morning, despite my mental or emotional state, I woke up with the intention that when my little boy woke up, he would see me smiling down at him, picking him up, I would rock him for a while and with a story or two, drag him to get ready for school.

I follow a similar attitude with my closest friends or people I am closely acquainted with. I ensure, when I meet them, I am complimenting them or giving them my best smile.

There can be no truer words than - "How we begin our day shapes everything that follows."

This book, from the Foreword has some beautiful words that the author has shared with us. I am nodding at every line that I read and reminding myself that I knew this all along and just didn't believe in it. It is so important to believe one's instinct. While this information can be given to another, they have to be in a position to accept it and put 200% interest in transforming themselves.

This beautiful book is divided into the twelve months of any given year. The author has put together words of wisdom, kindness and care and remind us that we are special and we are made for bigger things in life. Sometimes, we may know it all, but if we are reminded of those very things by an outsider, our belief in it doubles. So this Dear Friend diary is just what you need to keep your spirits high. Every single day.

A definite keep sake. This book is great company when you want an extra pat on the back or a minute-longer hug.
