Morning fellow bloggers, whilst working through an anti-bullying course today I am reminded that in any situation often what most people want is to be listened to and understood.

So for the beginning of 2016 remember the act of being a good friend is often making time to listen to others who for whatever reason are struggling.

Often there isn’t a solution but by talking things through it really does help us to understand our own feelings and the distress of others. Whilst empathy can be learnt if its something you have in abundance then don’t waste it and be that good friend you would like to have too!

Happy New Year.
