Welcome to Friday Favorites! If you’re new to the blog, here’s how to play along. Every Friday I devote my post to showcasing awesome blog posts by other bloggers that I’ve read over the past week or two. I invite you to do the same and link up here, OR just link up directly to those posts you’ve loved this week. This is any easy way to share the love and find great new blogs.

I love the post How to Speak Encouragement and Help Your Friends by Laurie. She has some great suggestions for what to say (and NOT to say!) to friends who are struggling.

Happiness is a contemplative post about what else – happiness – by The Martha Complex. Can you choose happiness? Always?

AV Flox’s post Cherishing Possessions and People is just beautifully written. Go! Read! Now!
