Friends

 
Another wonderful blessing of my Minneapolis learning adventure was that
I got to see my wonderful friend, Danielle!
Yahoo!  It is always such a joy to spend time with Ms. D.

Friendship....such a true blessing of life on earth!

And now, in celebration of my quality friend time,
a few friend quotes:

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy,
they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. 

- Marcel Proust 

 Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.
- Francesco Guicciardini 

 The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion,
who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement,
who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.
-Henri Nouwen
