Friends provide important emotional support throughout our lives. They comfort us during difficult times, celebrate our accomplishments, and share in important moments. While other aspects of life may change, friends have the potential to stay with us consistently and positively impact each day. The presentation is dedicated to the presenter's SlideShare and Facebook friends with whom they have shared stories, opinions, thoughts and more over the years.

2. Sometimes it's hard to put into words how much
our friends mean to us. Friends comfort us in our
times of need, glorify our triumphs, comment on
our work, celebrate our birthdays, laugh with us,
forgive us and love us.
Things change in life. Jobs and addresses may
come and go but, if we're lucky, our friends stay
with us throughout our lives, making each day
better.
* Friends are like a magnifying glass-they show us things we don't notice ourselves.
* Friends are like reading glasses-they help us decipher the fine print.
* Friends are like shiny mirrors-reflecting back to us how beautiful we really are.
My SlideShare and Facebook friends are a heartfelt celebration of friendship.
Over the years I have shared with them myriad stories, opinions, and
thoughts, at times intellectual and personal other times comical and appealing.
To them all, I dedicate this presentation.
