Friendships and Relationships

Barbara recently used one of my comments and took it to the next level:

I've been thinking a lot about the topic of friendships and relationships recently. Until I read Bob's quote I hadn't thought too much about the difference, I kind of use those words interchangeably in my life which is incorrect, they are not the same, even though both can happen simultaneously.

Webster's says:
A FRIEND IS:
a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.
A RELATIONSHIP IS:
a connection, association, or involvement

Using Bob's definition, a friendship is based on the heart and because of that - it will endure the ups and downs of life whereas a relationships can come and go.

I suggest reading the rest of Barbara's thoughts ... she is one of the most transparent writers I know.
