Monday Photo of the Week - Friendships

Friends.
Connie and Patty
Seeing them once a year is really a treat.
I miss seeing them more often, but that is how it's working out right now. 

Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we will come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will every change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.

 
In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.  It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.  We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.  ~Albert Schweitzer

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.  ~Douglas Pagels


Carol Ahles

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.  ~Elisabeth Foley


The friend within the man is that part of him which belongs to you and opens to you a door which never, perhaps, is opened to another.  Such a friend is true, and all he says is true; and he loves you even if he hates you in other mansions of his heart.  ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Wisdom of the Sands, translated from French by Stuart Gilbert

I get by with a little help from my friends...

Just what is the face of friendship?

Friendship, like the sun, warms your body and soul.

It does not cage you, it enhances your flight.

It enhances your core values and allows for your differences.

It is full of surprises.

It nourishes you so that you can grow.

 It blossoms in the most unexpected venues.

It scales the most difficult situations.

It waits patiently.


It spans great distances.


It endures.

I woke up this morning seeing my good friend's daughter's face in the paper (wedding section) and was grateful that I was able to text her. I was able to reach her even as she is with another set of good friends. And wish her well and say a prayer of thanks and well-being for her. And got a text back from another friend. It made my day. Isn't technology wonderful?

I thank you all my friends (and this certainly includes my blog friends) for being a part of my life, for making it whole, for being my rock. I keep you in my prayers....always.



With a little help from my friends..
(C) Joe Cocker


What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends.

And for your enjoyment.. 3 versions of the song.. pick your favorite:
