Friendship
Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to visit me here! I really appreciate you all so much! My next post will appear on my blog on Sunday at 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Here are today's selections, which I hope will brighten your day!
You are strong enough.
What do you call a cat sleeping in your shoe? Puss in boots. :)
A true friend is there during stormy times. Many friends will be there when times are good. It's during stormy times you find out who has your back - and your umbrella. - Karen Salmansohn
True friends are always together in spirit. - L.M. Montgomery
They love without words and stay without reason - that's true friendship.
Stop holding onto people who keep letting go of you. Pay attention to faithful people, the ones you don't have to impress. The ones who always have your back. The ones who love you with no strings attached.
The better part of one's life consists of his friendships. - Abraham Lincoln
People who defend your name when you're not around are the most loyal friends you could ever have.
There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship. - Thomas Aquinas
But your best friend is still your best friend. Even from half a world away. Distance can't sever that connection. Best friends are the kind of people who can survive anything. And when best friends see each other again after being separated by half a world and more miles than you think you can bear, you pick up right where you left off. After all, that's what best friends do. - Unknown
Blood makes you related, love makes you family. - Katie Reus
Things are never quite as scary when you have a best friend. - Bill Watterson
Friends are medicine for a wounded heart and vitamins for a hopeful soul. - Steve Maraboli
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What? You, too? I thought I was the only one." - C.S. Lewis
Friends are flowers in the garden of life. - Proverb
Best friends make the good times better and the hard times easier.
True friends don't keep score. They show up whether you're winning or losing in life.
The happiest people are the givers, not the takers.
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy! :)
Guy finds hermit crabs living in plastic and offers them new shells :) (The Dodo)
Woman rescues 10 year old fish and can't believe her eyes when he transforms :) (The Dodo)
Road without end - Jerry Scoggins (Theme song from the TV show The Littlest Hobo) This was the 1st one
Maybe Tomorrow - Terry Bush (Theme song from the TV show The Littlest Hobo) This was the 2nd one

...Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What? You, too? I thought I was the only one." I've had this happen a few times!
ReplyDeleteThank you, for the little smile.
ReplyDeleteSo many good things on friends! The fish video is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAmizade é atemporal e sem barreiras geográficas.
ReplyDeleteBelo post.
I remember the 2nd "Littlest Hobo" theme song very well, but the 1st one drew a blank -- don't remember it at all! One TV station here plays "Littlest Hobo" repeats early Sat/Sun mornings and so I often hear them in the background when the TV is on. Can't say I'm tempted to sit down and watch them again.
ReplyDeleteLove how she finally throws that rock at the end of that first video.
ReplyDeleteFriendship is important.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the wonderful reminders of friendship!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the positivity today.
ReplyDeletemorning dear linda!! i'm working from home this morning but will be attending a meeting in the office after lunch hour. for today, i choose this quote: Friends are flowers in the garden of life... thanks for being one of my virtual friends :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for another dose of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWonderful quotes on friendship!
ReplyDeleteLinda, friends are wonderful and it is so nice that with technology, you and I can be friends although were are in different countries! I have lost touch with many of my school/university friends and I feel the loss sometimes. I do miss those wonderful people who were in my life decades ago.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous Linda, love what you post with so much interest. Thanks for always popping into my blog xx
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't believe in best friends, I do have many close friends and an active social life. I consider myself fortunate to have the connections I do! They are a blessing and a joy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quotes and words of wisdom—thank you for them; they help me move through life with greater awareness! Great vidios!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time. Hugs, Elke
You nailed the one about friendship.
ReplyDeleteI love the video about the rescued goldfish. 😊
ReplyDelete"Friends are flowers in the garden of life." - I LOVE that! Have a beautiful day, Linda :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quotes, Linda. Friendship is important.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Linda. Karen Salmansohn’s quote is so true—during tough times, you really discover who your true friends are. I lost many friends when things got difficult. Wishing you a beautiful week, Linda.
ReplyDeleteWonderful thoughts about friendship, Linda 💚
ReplyDelete"Best friends make the good times better and the hard times easier."
I liked that one, and in Finland we have this saying:
"A joy shared is a joy doubled, a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved." ❤️🖤
Memes are good, love the puss in boots one.
ReplyDeleteJust for laughs had me laughing especially at the end...lol
Dear Linda, I think you missed out one regular section in your post today. 😂 I keep scrolling up and down looking for it, thinking 🤔 that I have scrolled past that section. Have a good day to you! Or is it good night to you? I can't tell what time it is in Montreal now without using the internet to do so. 😆 One more day and then it is weekend again! Yay! 😁
ReplyDeleteAh, I just checked the internet. Montreal is 3.15 am now. I think you are in sweet sweet Dreamland 💤😴
ReplyDeleteHave a good relaxing sleep 😴😴😴
Beautiful quotes, Linda.
ReplyDeleteFriendship is very important in life.
All the best, Irma
Lindo, přátelství je důležité téma. Mnohdy platí, co píšeš: Pravý přítel je tu v těžkých časech. Zrovna včera jsem si to ověřila.
ReplyDeleteDíky a těším se na další téma. ╣╠ ☻
The best for me is: "Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What? You, too? I thought I was the only one." - C.S. Lewis"
ReplyDeletePeople who defend your name when you're not around are the most loyal friends you could ever have.
ReplyDeleteThe theme song I know from the Littlest Hobo is Maybe Tomorrow. Boy what a sad tv show it was! I would cry when he left!
Have a nice weekend!
Great quotes and images Linda.
ReplyDeleteA true friend is a joy!
Take care, enjoy your day!
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What? You, too? I thought I was the only one."
ReplyDeleteThose can be really special moments, especially if it's someone no one else could understand before.
I missed having a true friend. Used to have few during study days, but everybody has their own life now. My only best friend is my husband. 😊
ReplyDeleteTudo lindo e a amizade é boa e faz bem! beijos, chica
ReplyDeleteThese are great. Most of my friends are the blog kind that I’ve never met in person
ReplyDeleteI like all the friendship ones today and LOVE the goldfish recovery story.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quotes and words of friendship
ReplyDeleteI love all the quotes about friendship. It is truly hard to find a really good friend who will stick with you through thick and thin. When you find one, you'd better keep it!! I love this post today. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBom.dia minha querida amiga Linda. A minha reflexão preferida é "Pare de se apegar a pessoas que te abandonam. Preste atenção em pessoas fiéis, aquelas que você não precisa impressionar. Aquelas que sempre te apoiam. Aquelas que te amam incondicionalmente. Uma excelente manhã de quinta-feira, para você e seus familiares no Canadá e um grande abraço do seu amigo carioca.
ReplyDeleteOnce again wonderful post and videos.
ReplyDeleteSo many good ones! my favorite: "They love without words and stay without reason - that's true friendship". We haven't had a dog in a long time- but they are true friends.
ReplyDeleteWell, I reckon it is better to have poos than puss in your boots LOL
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE those videos. That's me ... saving a fish! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you for your beautiful and meaningful words. They are deeply relatable to life. Keep strong, keep motivated.
ReplyDeleteAlways exactly what resonates with me when you post your wise memes and videos! That must make us friends!! :)
ReplyDeleteDe nuevo nos dejas una buena colección de frases de gran calado. pero creo que la numero seis es la que mas me gusto.
ReplyDeleteLos videos maravillosos pero creo que el de la broma supera a los otros, aunque los de la serie también me gustan.
Saludos.
Your posts make us happy. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteI have had some good friends but perhaps not the definition of a best friend.

Friendship is love that begins with oneself.

One thinker said, that whoever is looking for the perfect friend, will be left without a friend.
Trust is the most important thing in friendship.
