Friends,Pick-up trucks,and perspective

This past week my little red pick up was down due to the fan coming apart.(It's a 91) .So it was time to dive under the hood for repairs. Now I have a friend named Clyde who fixes cars as a hobby,abd since he works where I do he just hopped in on to help me(it was more like me helping him).Then yesterday we figured out that the water pump was the culprit and had to replace that too. Well Clyde just put his plans on hold 'til my pick up was fixed, friends like that are priceless. But I've helped him too on projects he has had.But that's what friends do. And as bad as this economy is the more friends you have the better and don't forget your friends either.You don't need grand gestures,it's the little things that count.Share a meal,or a good cup of coffe or tea. Life isn't about what you own or how much you make,it's about the person you are.
