For true friendships — committed, caring, loyal, supportive; they know each other’s stories, can transcend time and distance. They stick. I look way back and see them throughout my life. What a blessing! And I am so grateful.
What are you thankful for today?
“I thank my God every time I remember you.”
– Philippians 3:1
“I really like the thing called friendship. And I think the most fulfilling kind of friendship is the one that you stumble quite randomly upon. Unexpected and unknown. You can learn a lot about yourself from these kinds of friendships, and some last a long time while others last only for the duration of time that you have together! But then I wonder, is the length of a friendship measured by the time you are given to spend within each other’s company? Or is it measured by how long into the future you can look back at the photos you took, look back and replay the adventures and the laughter in your head; still feeling like it was one of the “bestest” times of your life? Because if it’s the latter, I have a thousand friends!”

“To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind.”
-W. Hazlitt
Well, Connie, today you really did bring me one of the many meaningful sides of life….remembering all those cherished friendships…for which I am very thankful and grateful. And you are at the top of that list. Your quotes are spot on and make me realize how truly lucky I am to have been blessed with so very many wonderful lifelong friends….which also makes me realize that Dinosaurs are never extinct 😉
One of the best things in life, no doubt. Thankful you are in my life.

I stumbled upon this great friendship 28 years ago…for that I thank God. I’m also thankful for our children, they too love, respect, and take care of their friends. Great Job Connie, Love You.
We must have been on the same path, babe, ’cause I stumbled upon the same thing at the same time as you. ?
Beautiful and a wonderful reminder. Smile to my face.
