I am happy to say that I'm still in very close contact with my 4 best friends from high school, and our friendship is priceless. We've been in each other's weddings, celebrated births, and comforted each other when one of us had a death in the family. Just knowing that these "girls" are always there for me means so very much (and they know I'm there for them too). ~ Blessings, Patti JoCatMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985658721138526298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-11142761964828778012013-04-26T11:25:47.969-07:002013-04-26T11:25:47.969-07:00So glad you're enjoying yourself, Lenora!

We go to Orange Beach every year now – ever since Missy Tippens posted that video of the view from her condo balcony. <br />There is this group of six women who have been going there for about twenty-five years. All went to college together. They have the most fun. They spend most of the time shopping! They actually are an inspiration. Six good life long friends! What a treasure.<br /><br />Your words on friendship really made me think. I’ve often thought of how rare it is to have a genuine, life long friend. Quotes like the one below always ring true with me:<br /><br /><i>“If you have two friends in your lifetime, you're lucky. If you have one good friend, you're more than lucky.” </i><br /><br /><b>― S.E. Hinton</b><br /><br />A friend is part of one’s self as no others could ever be. A friend is an oasis where it’s always safe to be vulnerable. A friend gladly offers a ‘come as you are’ welcome every time. A friend quietly listens to you say the same things over and over because a friend knows you’re not conveying information. A friend knows when you are thinking out loud and when you expect an answer. A friend knows when you are seeking the truth and not a hug and when a hug is all the truth you need. A friend sees you as a friend and not as what you look like. A friend often knows the news before being told and sometimes knows even before we know it ourselves. A friend knows when we don’t mean what we are saying and what we are saying actually means. A friend can feel our pain even when we are too numb to feel it ourselves. A friend is one of God’s proofs that He exists.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-1966295059894826482013-04-26T07:13:49.744-07:002013-04-26T07:13:49.744-07:00Lenora, you must hold the bargain queen title!!! :...Lenora, you must hold the bargain queen title!!! :)<br /><br />Sounds like a wonderful weekend!

Friendship does mean home. A friend is...Yes indeed! Friendship does mean home. A friend is someone who understands when you're overwhelmed and "just need to tell someone." Friendships are so precious! <br /><br />I must admit a touch of envy that you're at the beach. What a gorgeous photo! It's below freezing here this morning. Definitely not a beach day.Christine Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037185957390220266noreply@blogger.com
