To paraphrase a quote I read and enjoyed today:

“The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each [good friend].”

Good friends don’t merely nod and act agreeably. They’ll nudge. More than once if needed. Albeit kindly.

They can see you’re tired and be understanding, while still point out if there’s more you have to give.

Kindly, keep going.

ps. Helene – I’m looking at you.
pps. Britney – thanks always.
