REAL FRIENDS TEACH

My perspective has been changing.

Newsworthy persons and personalities mean less to me than do the folks who empower me by their real presence and honest dialogue in the course of a day.

The "newsworthy" folks, be they entertainers or politicos, are simply stories in the news. I give them minimal credence- even the "good gals" and "good guys". Experience is the best guide; and those people I experience, know, like, and respect are more reliable friends and guides than the storybook personalities of the news.

Storybook characters instruct and act; real friends teach and care.
