Hoe ouer mens word, hoe nodiger word dit om vriende te h\u00ea. <\/p>\n
En om vriende te h\u00ea wat al van lankal af kom, selfs van kindsbeen af, is goud werd.<\/p>\n
Vir my is dit wonderlik om \u2019n verskeidenheid maters te h\u00ea wat mens op verskillende maniere aanvul. Nie almal in my kleurvolle vriendekring hou van die teater en feeste nie, en net so is daar ander wat jy nie dood op die dansbaan sal sien nie. <\/p>\n
Dis so kosbaar om vriendinne te h\u00ea wat jou ouers geken het, wat nog die name van die liewe huishulp en jou troeteldiere onthou. En die wat by was met elke groot familiefees of \u2013geveg, jou grootword-huis geken het en die skooldae meegemaak het.<\/p>\n
Dit is egter so dat die voetpadjie na \u2019n vriend se huis gou toegroei as mens dit nie gereeld stap nie. Dis eintlik \u2019n groot eer as iemand jou in hulle lewe toelaat. <\/p>\n
Om die titel as vriend te h\u00ea, beteken eintlik dat daar \u2019n bietjie moeite ingesit moet word om die vriendskap lewendig, prettig en betekenisvol te hou.<\/p>\n
Nie almal in my vriendekring deel dieselfde humorsin nie. Maar elkeen vul my aan op \u2019n eiesoortige manier. Elkeen is nodig om my volledig mens te maak. <\/p>\n
Met my boeremusiek-dansmaters deel ons di\u00e9 pret. <\/p>\n
Die groep maats by die lyndans wakker weer ander eienskappe aan, en so sal my joernalis\/woord-maats daardie sy van my bevredig. Mens kan nie sommer met enigeen gaan inkopies doen nie, of op die strand l\u00ea nie of gaan toer nie.<\/p>\n
Daar is mense in jou lewe met wie jy oor religieuse sake kan praat. Die groep feesflerries wat saam kunstefeeste bywoon ken jou weer op \u2019n ander manier. <\/p>\n
Dan is daar ook die maat wat ek w\u00e9\u00e9t altyd sal help met \u2019n resep of huishoudelike raad. <\/p>\n
En dan is daar die staatmaker wat ek enige tyd bel om gate te boor en te help met \u2019n pap wiel \u2013 daardie \u2018ek-is-altyd-daar-vir-jou\u2019 mens.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Mens is bevoorreg om maters te h\u00ea wat jou gereeld saamnooi, jou talente en suksesse erken, bystaan deur moeilike tye en jou gevoelens ag. <\/p>\n
Een mens kan nie \u00e1lles vir \u2019n ander wees nie. Ons het \u2019n verskeidenheid mense nodig. <\/p>\n
En dan is dit uitsonderlik as jy daardie \u00e9\u00e9n maat het met wie jy alles in jou hart kan deel sonder om jou woorde te tel of veroordeel te word nie. <\/p>\n
Maats uit verskillende fases van jou lewe is so waardevol \u2013 skoolmaats, studentemaats, vriendinne wat saam swanger was en babas gehad het, di\u00e9 wat jy deur jou kinders se aktiwiteite leer ken. En dan ook di\u00e9 saam met wie jy werk.<\/p>\n
Met tegnologie soos WhatsApp en Facebook is dit so maklik om kontak te hou, en om op hoogte bly van mekaar se lewens. <\/p>\n
Met een plasing kan die hele lotjie weet wat gebeur. Dis \u2019n manier om te keer dat daardie \u201cvriendskapsvoetpadjie\u201d toegroei. <\/p>\n
Dis so maklik om te deel in \u2019n vriend(in) se wel en we\u00eb, en dalk \u2019n lig in \u2019n donker dag te bring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
