Quote of the Day….

” The most beautiful discovery that true friends can make is that they can grow seperately without growing apart. “

-  Elizabeth Foley

This is true for the very best of friends.

Here is to the one who has your back, gives you the best advice, laughs when you do, spends the whole day doing nothing with you, brings you brownies, answers the phone when you call, is actually interested in what you did today, yesterday, and will be doing tomorrow, who will share their lunch with you, who remembers your birthday, who’s on your speed dial, the ultimate confidant.

Friends for life.

Family by choice.

Quote of the Day… and a ‘When Harry Met Sally’ Question

“A girl and a guy can be just friends, but at one point or another they will fall for each other… Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever…”

                                                                                              – Unknown

 

O.K. I think this may fall under the ‘ When Harry met Sally ‘ catagory. Some people really believe ( my mother for one ) that if a man and a woman are friends or even really good friends they are destined to end up in a romantic relationship at some point in time. Maybe it will be a very short affair, maybe a lifetime. I have been wondering about that. All my life I have definetly had friends who were guys and maybe as a child that is normal. I always figured it was because I have three brothers so, I was used to their sillyness . But, now as I get older and I’m friends with a guy people automatically assume  that things are going to get steamy…Let me just say now that that has yet to be seen. So, I don’t know. The whole ” love is friendship on fire “ thing does make sense to me.

If you are not friends with your love interest I don’t see it working out.I don’t even see how it is possible. But sometimes people are just funny and enjoyable.You like them, they make you laugh, you could cherish their friendship even and what they bring to your life. It doesn’t mean they give you sleepless nights, that you want to inhale and fill your lungs with their warm scent lingering on a sweater, or accidentally fall into their eyes completely unsuspecting. 

So, what’s the difference? Passion, I think? The chemistry, connection, desire. The stuff of love songs, chick flicks, and magic. The stuff that happens for no reason at all, but is the whole reason. 

Well, I’ve thought about it without a definite answer so, I’m sending it out to the Universe and to you my cyber friends. What are your thoughts , wisdom, and experiences?

Please Help.

Is friendship true love incognito?

Quote of the Day

“Between true friends, even water drunk together is sweet enough.”

Zimbabwean Proverb

Isn’t that lovely. I just read it off the back of an herbal tea box and I thought it was so cute.

Sometimes it’s a lot of fun to read tea wisdom
