The ABC's of A Good Friend... "E"

(Yep, it's me! We were celebrating my dear friend Marina's birthday, princess style.)

I'd like to thank Arlee Bird for organizing the A-Z Challenge! This is my first time to do it...I have chosen a topic for the entire month. Since I write for younger children and we are doing the ABC's I thought I would do The ABC's of A Good Friend (and throw in a few random pictures, because I have a little bit of a photo addiction).


~E~

When selecting friends it's important to choose ones that compliment your personality...or make up for your shortfalls.  For me, it's especially important to have friends that are easy-going.  I tend to be rather prim and proper, when I'm not on the Harley.  I am a heavy duty worrier.  Most of you already know that about me.  So, for me having an easy-going friend is very important.  Hopefully, one day some of my princess friends who are easy-going will rub off on me.

    Easy-going is important to me too since I'm Type A all the way! Entertaining is also a good one :)

    I definitely agree that friends need to balance eachother out. I guess opposites attract!

    Easy going friends are the best! But not so easy going that they never call you or plan lunch! Hope you are enjoying the challenge.

    Hi princess:)
    An easy-going friend can see you through times of trouble.
    A characteristic describing a friend using the letter 'E', would be 'eccentric', in the nicest possible way.
    Hope you are okay, Sharon.
    In kindness, Gary

    Awwww you're a lovely princess, Sharon K Mayhew!! Yay!!! Happy birthday to your friend!!

    My bestest buddy in the whole wide world is amazingly easy-going and I'm so grateful for that. I tend to be a moody little bugger but he balances me out with his laid-backness and c'est la vie attitude!!!! So yay for easy going friends!!

    Energizing!! That's an e-word for him too! Take care

    I'm a worrier too - but strangely I'm easy going as well. I like caterpillar's suggestion - enthusiastic! :)

    How cool to give your friend a shout out. Happy birthday, Princess Marina!

    Easy-going, empathetic, enigmatic - those are good traits.

    I know all about that. Nowadays, I'm the one who's telling other people to calm down and relax. Used to be I was the one being told that. I like energetic people.

    How about enchanting ... I like folks I can talk to and not realize I've spent hours with them. :-)

    I love this!! What a cool theme for posts. I agree -- easy-going is a wonderful trait. It's one that I aspire to more often. I admit to being a little tightly-wound sometimes. Your post inspires me today. :)

    I bet, being the heavy worrier type, that you get a lot done. I'm more the easy going kind and things tend to take me longer to accomplish.

    That's a great one! It's good to have friends that balance us out!

    I can't believe I'm the first to say encouraging. I am, right? I read the comments. Maybe I'm the only one who constantly needs to be encouraged, which makes me mostly needy, I think. But I like to be an encouragement to others too. :)

    Easygoing, definitely! And I would have to agree with the other commmentors that encouraging and empathetic are two other good "e"s. :)
