Nicole feels

We are currently going through a study on friendship and I have wanted to share some quotes, so here you go!

"...daring to take risks...ignites the flame for bonding." ~Dee Brestin

"A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away." ~Anonymous

"A simple friend thinks the problems you whine about are recent. A real friend says, "You've been whining about the same thing for years. Get off your duff and do something about it."" ~Anonymous

"True friendship means seeing ourselves as peers, encouragers, and cheerleaders in each other's lives. We affirm one another for a job well done, and we open doors for each other to try new things and risk success or failure." ~Carol Kent

"She is a friend. She gathers the peices and gives them back to me in all the right order." ~Toni Morrison

"The best mirror is a trusted old friend." ~Sephardic Saying

"When we are given our rewards, I prefer to be found to have erred on the side of grace rather than judgement; to have loved too much rather than too little; to have forgiven the undeserving rather than refused forgiveness to that one who deserved it...to have believed the best and been wrong, than to have believed the worst and been right." ~Gerald Boyer

PS - I added a picture to my last entry. Go back and see Corinna and her new hubby, Herb!
