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. 
 
What E word characteristic is important in a friend to you?

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

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

  4. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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

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

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

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

  14. 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.

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

  19. 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. :)

  20. 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.

  21. 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. :)

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