“It’s your fault, Eeyore. You’ve never been to see any of us. You just stay here in this one corner of the Forest waiting for the others to come to you. Why don’t you go to them sometimes?” Eeyore was silent for a little while, thinking. “There may be something in what you say, Rabbit,” he said at last. “I have been neglecting you. I must move about more. I must come and go.” “That is right, Eeyore. Drop in on any of us a t any time, when you feel like it.” “Thank-you, Rabbit. And if anybody says in a Loud Voice ‘ Bother, it’s Eeyore,’ I can drop out again.”

There are times, we need to leave our safe little spaces, and share it with others. We do not always feel like being sociable or friendly but if we are not we could easily find ourselves isolated at a time when being alone is the last thing we need to survive. It can be frightning to meet new people but it can also be a wonderful adventure. Making new friends colour our lives with variety and possibilities. As we get older I think it becomes more difficult to make friends. When we are young our lack of inhibitions allows us to walk up to someone and ask them what they are doing or if we can look at there toys. With age comes inhibitions and propriety and it is only when we let go of our inhibitions that we really make wonderful new friends. And a friend is someone who does not criticize of judge, and therefore allows you to be just you - complete and uninhibited. I creep out of my little corner and I drop in on you!
