Love and Hugs
Forever your friend
Judith

Blessed is the woman who
has the gift of making friends
For it is one of God's best gifts
It involves many things,
But above all the power
of going out of one's own self
And seeing and appreciating whatever
is noble and loving in another being

Thomas Hughes

No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be
strong, gentle, pure and good without the world being better for it,
without somebody being helped and comforted
by the very existence of that goodness

Friendship adds a bright radiance to prosperity
And lightens theburden of adversity
By dividing and sharing it

Being with people you like and respect is so meaningful,
Perhaps you have known some of them most of your life.
Having friends around for a pleasant evening
is one of life's most cherished joys as far as I am concerned.
But when those with me are fellow believers
how much greater that joy is,for we know that,
it will be rekindled one day,in eternity

James Stewart

I trust that even when I'm out of sight
I'm not out of mind
Silences and distances are woven
into the texture of every true friendship

Roberta Israeloff

A friend is one who does not laugh
when you are in a ridiculous position

Sir Arthur Helps

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others
cannot keep it from themselves

James M. Barrie
