good friends, good food, good games, good times

There is something to be said about spending time with those that bring you up. There is a joy about healthy associations. More than just the enjoyment of good times, there is a joy of uplifting each other by just being around each other. Good friends make you better at the end of the day because you know them. They do not force you to better yourself, but rather you are better because of them. They may not fix the problems of your life, but they do enrich it and you and help you face life's challenges.
