What an amazing last 24 hours, around the WAtercooler!

With cramped fingers and a low cell batt, I had to put my phone down!

While still, so pumped, I pulled out my PC!

We Share, not opinions, but experience!

Several blogs have touched on serious life issues, inspiring many soulful thoughts and comments!

What hidden gems

we all have from this "Treasure Chest" of WA friends!

We share all sorts of real life experiences here, some Happy and some Tragic!

I've been amazed at all the wonderful sharing, ...the benefit of comments thread!

Nobody has quoted book knowledge. Books are often the experience and knowledge of that person's experience, and often, the opinions of others.

This sounds like the psychiatrist! ...and nobody has to pay!!

WE Share experience, Strength and Hope!

True Friendships are built on trust and honest caring, and are some of our most treasured gifts!

I have this flip calendar that was a gift from a friend many years ago. It sits on my buffet, as I go into the kitchen. Everyday I get reminders of the value of friendships!

Some gems on friendship

"Friends are an important part of sharing the burden and worry of each day. Too often the I-can_handle -it-myself society we live in, seems to promote loneliness than than friendship." - Sheri Curry

"A friend is a person witth whom I may be sincere, before whom I may think out loud." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A friend is a gift whose worth is measured except by the heart." -Anonymous

"There is no better exercise for the heart than reachng down and lifting up people." John Andrew Holmer

"My friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways they have turned my limitatins into beautiful priviledges, and enabled me to walk serene and happy in shadow cast by my deprivation." - Helen Keller

and, lastly...

"If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, ...that would be giving as the Angels give"-George MacDonald

What a gift!

Little did I know, when I joined WA, that the hidden gift we all share would be that of

true friendships, ...one's we have cultivated and nurtured along this adventure!

"A friend in need, is a friend, indeed." - English Proverb

Closing this out a bit early, but I feel I've shared enough for today, and most get to website!

In closing, 2 songs come to mind...

"You Can't Make Old Friends" - Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton
"What will I do when you're gone

Who's going to finish the stories I start

as you always do?

When someone knocks at the door,

Someone new walks in

I will smile and shake their hands,

but you can't make old friends!"

And finally...

"My Special Angel"- Bobby Vinton ( with a personal twist)

"You are my special Angels

sent from up above

The Lord smiled down on me

and sent, many Angels to Love!"

We have all been given this unexpected gift, should we choose to except it!

Thank you all for being such wonderful friends!

Good Bless You All!

With Love in my Heart,

Barb
