Friends come in all styles and varieties. Some friends spend the entire conversation talking about themselves and their problems. Other friends really care about you and work to encourage you on your dreams.

What kinds of friends do you tend to have? When you spend time with your friends do you feel energized - or drained?

I'm very lucky and my friends are generally upbeat, encouraging, and listen as much as they talk. They help me with my projects and I help them with theirs. Sometimes I run into a person who is very "draining" and I try to handle them gently. I am already working with a very full schedule!
