Our friends interpret the world to us.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

Another great way to show appreciation to your friends for their friendship is simply by expressing it verbally. Telling someone how much you love being their friends, and how grateful you are for their friendship is not only very effective, but it is also very healthy for friendships. People want praise, they want to know they are appreciated, and they want to know you notice what they do for you, and what kind of friend they are. So, whenever you feel the urge, speak up. Tell them how much you appreciate them. The most effective way to do this is also the simplest. You literally say, "I really appreciate your friendship."
