I will lift up mine eyes to the hills
That verse is etched in the building on the grounds of my old summer camp - Camp Mont Shenandoah . It is also a rather overused quotation at my college, Hollins University.
Those 2 places mean a lot to me because of the relationships I forged. There is a lesson in why friends matter as much as grades and accomplishments and places you've been. I see this Psalms verse and I think of my friends.
But this time lifting my eyes to the hills carries more meaning than ever. If you want to walk a steep hill, you need your friends to make it tolerable. Literally. Physically.
Check out this new study I am reposting (thanks to the Daily Dish) from a couple of University of Virginia professors. Apparently it's not a myth, friendship is a really undervalued asset in life.
And yet friends get tabled often, for work, for romance, for travel, for money (or lack thereof), for volunteer obligations. Interesting how that works.
Here's the NY Times article I recommend.
