For the Love of Friendship

My father always told me you may love your family but you may not like what, why, and how they do the things they do. Friends how ever you have a choices to select the type of friends you want in your life. But to take note that if you choose to hang around with dogs you might pick up a few fleas along the way. Well good advice for living in this world of uncertainty. I got to say I have been very fortunate to have such wonderful friends new and old be a part of my life. As in the Dictionary it states

friend |frend|nouna person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations.• a person who acts as a supporter of a cause, organization, or country by giving financial or other help : join the Friends of Guilford Free Library.• a person who is not an enemy or who is on the same side : she was unsure whether he was friend or foe.


It's very hard to live in a big city where you are complied with immense amount of people and their minds. Your ability to try to carry on with all the confusion that can be over whelming. Constantly struggling to meet your end of the bargain as a responsible adult can be a very lonely place. And this folks is where one in whom are the ones we Cherish comes to play a huge part of our lives. They have the ability to make us or break us, because they are an extension of us. They hold the mirror and reflect a part of us that we may not want to see at a particular time. But they are patient and understanding and when were ready they open the door. I have been blessed with many different shapes, color and characters of friends. But although their might be many along my path of life that I have cherished. Their are those few that stand out and I can truly say I love then and they are not only friends they are family to me. My father always said you may have millions of acquaintances but your true friends you can count on your right hand. I happy to report I have more than that lest so far. People who I had no idea would stand up to the plate for me. Those who truly were sincere in the comfort when things just got to harry and I was just disappointed beyond belief. Today I want to thank these special family members who are my friends and know that although through the years although I may not always be their physically I am always thinking of you. So I leave you with this poem:
I may not come from wealth, but because of you I am more than wealthy! I may have not had my schooling paid for, but because of you I am educated!I may not be the best looking, but because of you I feel attractive! I may not have some fancy house, but because of you I feel I have a home!I may not be a movie star, but because of you I feel I am a shinning star!I may not be at times strong, but because of you I want to live long! I may not have everything that someone wants, but with you I have every thing I need! It is that of my soul you feed! My dear Friend! Thank You!
