"A friendship has but one chief adversary and that is envy. It is sired by resentment with the potential consequence of unresolved estrangement." She looked at the woman in conflict and said, "Do not envy her but imagine what it took for her to have what you resent her for.

The woman looked at her and nodded in accord, "And how do you do that" she asked. The woman sighed in reflective thought. "By changing the way you think."

Each time I see the first snowfall of the season I feel it's the first time I've seen it at all."
