A friend is like a golden ray of sunshine, peeking through the dark night.
A light in the darkness of life.
Someone who shares your joys and sorrows, and lifts you to higher ground daily.
A hug from them, or a kind word or deed; can lift your heart from despair to pure happiness.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder with true friends.
Even if you have not seen each other in years, warm thoughts and sweet words are exchanged; friendship shines like a roaring flame.
I have heard it once said that; " Friends are a single soul dwelling in two bodies."
While I know we have distinct and separate souls, I like to think that it means that we are one in unity and purpose. Dear friends often have similar values and goals in this journey we call life. The joy of human love and friendship is you can have relationships and true friendship, with someone as different from you; as night is from day.
Mutual respect, kindness and an understanding towards dynamic values among friends gives us eternal perspective.
God knew we could not sojourn on this earth alone, so he gave us the opportunity to build eternal relationships that last forever. I believe that friendships are some of those golden opportunities.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain ”Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones makes you feel that you, too, can become great.” - Mark Twain

Happy Mother's Day! Thank you to all the Mentors and Teachers and Wonderful Moms out there
What does it mean to be an Angel Mother?
A blessed balm of God, a rightous vessel of heaven- someone who listens when you need to talk.
A Mother holds you and hugs you when you need strength, she compliments your efforts and accomplishments.
She always reminds you that doing your best is the most important at everything you do, and you are always a winner at life.
A Mother gives you encouragement and hope for the future.
She realizes the beauty and majesty of you just the way you are.
Yet, gently nudges you to reach your goals and aspirations.
Mother explains that no one can tell you, you are not good enough, or that you cannot do any particular thing.
The words, "I can't"- are not in her dictionary. You can do and be anything and anyone you choose and set your mind to be.
The best Mother, is a Teacher and Facilitator, a guide for life.
She teaches by constant and quiet example- reminds you when to wash your hands and face, go to the restroom, helps fix your food and teaches you manners.
She may be bossy at times, she wants to teach you to be determined and safe.
To be wise and firm, yet kind.
She bakes with you, you love to help.
She cleans and tidies up the home, or may sometimes prefer to leave it messy to spend time with you.
You are her priority. Her spouse and her children. She loves you dearly, and so does your Heavenly Mother.
