Cherish your friends | Filed under General
Throughout our lives we are constantly rebuilding and renovating the walls we have created between our heart and others’. Bear in mind that the higher your wall is, the darker it will be and the more difficult it will be for love to find its way.
The draft you feel after your heart has been broken is simply the essential airing out of your soul to help establish fresh, new beginnings.
Given time, unconditional love will break through any barrier that our heart has created in order to defend itself.
Before someone’s tomorrow has been taken away, cherish those you love, appreciate them today.
Do not battle with those you love, put your guard down and listen.
If you can easily find fault in others, just realize that in another person’s eyes, you are the other.
Furniture and fixtures do not make a house a home, the people who live in it do.
Don’t worry about how much money you have and how you are going to spend it. Worry about how much love you have, that way, you can spend your life happily.
We often neglect to find the beauty in things we see every day.
Having a good heart is like having a new car, no matter how rocky the roads are, you are sure to have a smooth ride.
Plant the seed of love, water it daily, and patiently watch it grow. You will have a beautiful treasure and one day you will be found saying Life Is Simply Good!
Now a favorite Quote or two….
I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity… I didn’t feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not - more important now was for me to love them. Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving. Beverly Sills
“The glory of friendship is not in the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is in the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Friends are among the most important things a person can have in their life.

Life is sacred. I cherish my online friendships though I confess I never believed they could be ‘real. I wish my online friends lived across the fence and could drop in like our neighbors. ox’s

Hello, Michele sent me!
“We often neglect to find the beauty in things we see every day”
I think that very thought almost every day. We forget to stop and not only smell the roses, but appreciate their beauty as well.

During our wedding ceremony (very non-traditional) we focused on the topic of building bridges rather than walls. It goes along beautifully with your wonderful post here today!

Hallo!
Michele sent me.
A couple of quotes…
“Love, and do as you wish.” - St. Augustine. (Profound when you spend time with it.)
And somewhat related:
“Preach the Gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.” - St. Francis.
Cheers!
