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

Today is day 24 of Arlee Bird's A-Z Challenge! Since I write for younger children and we're doing the ABC's, I thought I'd do The ABC's of A Good Friend (and throw in a few random pictures, because I have a bit of a camera habit).

~X~

I hope you noticed that all of my friendship posts this month have been qualities you might want to find in a friend or a friend might want to find in you.  Today will be a little bit different...(I'd insert a dark end of the world kind of music clip...if I had one for you).

You do not want to have a friend that has Xenophobia.  They would not be good travel companions.  They wouldn't want to experience the local culture.  They would not want to go on adventures with you.  They might not want to leave the hotel room, if you could get them to leave their house.  They might not want to fly, or take train or a bus.  They might be scared to try strange new foods...

I hope you don't have Xenophobia!  I can't imagine how hard it would be to cope with everyday life.  If you do have it,  (remember I'm not a doctor) you probably should talk to your doctor about it and see how they can help you.  The world is a wonderful place, full of wonderful people who are willing to share themselves and their lives with you.  Having a good friend may be the start to a better life.  (((Hugs to everyone!)))  Here is a link to more information on Xenophobia.

If you are doing the A-Z Challenge, what X word did you do?  If you are not doing the A-Z Challenge, do you have another X word that either describes a quality you want in a friend or don't want in a friend?
