SOS :: StarBright's own Starlight's :: Week 2

Forever Friends I specially dedicate this article to all of my true friends past, present and future. Winter, spring , summer, or fall, All you have to do is call And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got a friend. John Taylor I have been counting my blessings since the attack of Uranus on my zodiac sign of Pisces from 2003 (a most unpleasant astro transit! maybe I will have a more positive view when its over, hmmm) but recently so, over the last 6 months, I have been inclined to count my blessings even more so, as the planet of butt kicking goes into 5th gear! When we count our blessings it highlights and reminds us what is good in our lives, or in the case of friends whom is good in our lives. I sometimes wonder if people today, in this crazy place we call the modern world have forgotten the gift that is a real friend and its delightful side effect that is friendship. The glittery distractions of modern living make us feel we don’t need anything other than money or material possessions to make everything all right and to feel good. As a society we have placed so much value on these illusionary aspects of life, we no longer know what really has true value in our lives. We so easily use the word friend to describe anybody we simply talk to, are acquainted with or don’t really know very much about. Its a word we flip around far too casually and often to people who are not verily worthy of the title. I am often guilty of this myself. I will call anybody I’ve met for five minutes and simply had a pleasant conversation with a friend, but this is because, to me they are. Everybody is my friend, until proven otherwise. I am not the kind of person who has to put somebody through a series of tests, know them for a long period of time or to have had shared some special experience with for me to call them a friend. We can all be friends and the whole world is bursting with a host of potential friendships if we are open to them. Nevertheless, amongst the sea of people I call my friends I know who are REALLY my friends. I think even though we use the word friend fortuitously, when the cookie crumbles not only do we know who are friends really are, we SEE who are friends really are. It is at these times that a true friend will step up to the plate and the fake friends will dissipate and you wonder why you ever called them a friend in the first place. I take my friendships seriously. I don’t take them for granted and like any good relationship, they need time, nurturing and unconditional love. Sounds like a familiar list....? Just like the relationship you will have with your significant other, your friendships deserve and need the same kind of attention and commitment. Here are some beautiful thoughts I stumbled across about what a friendship means. Friendship is made in the heart Unwritten, unbreakable by distance Unchangeable by time Once a friend, always a friend How do friendships grow? Pick a good heart! Plant a pot of trust Water with good thoughts Add some emotions and faith Remove misunderstandings And nourish with LOVE I think the art of friendship is just that, an art. A piece of art is a personal expression that comes from LOVE and is given to the world unconditionally (well, until art dealers get their paws on it!). Friendship is a living art. Friendship is an art and a friend is a gift. If you are blessed enough in life to have a real friend then you are richer beyond your wildest dreams. No billionaire can buy a real friend. A real friend is priceless! I think we should have a special day for friends and friendships. I don’t know, maybe there is a special day somewhere and I haven’t heard of it yet, but a day on par with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day is needed, lest we forget! Even if we did have a special day for friends, you should count the blessings that are your friends EVERY DAY, along with all of the other blessing in your life. So, if you ever feel impoverish, look to the wealth that are your friends. If you feel alone, look to the companionship of your friends. If you feel misunderstood, look to the understanding of a friend. If you feel sad, look to the humour from your friends. If you feel like a fool, look to the compassion of your friends. If you feel lost, look to the guidance from your friends and if you feel hurt or pain, look to the LOVE from your friends....and a hug! ;0) I am fortunate enough to have met some real and genuine friends on this very website New Age Store! Hiya guys!!! (Jumping and waving with excitement :0) ) and who said you can’t make real friends in cyber space! Next Christmas, when you are making your gift list for Santa. Ask for a friend. It will be the best gift you ever receive! Love & Laughter Starbright I'll Be There for You by the Rembrandts - Friends Lyrics So no one told you life was going to be this way. Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA. It's like you're always stuck in second gear, Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year. But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too. You're still in bed at ten, the work began at eight. You've burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great. Your mother warned you there'd be days like these, But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees. That, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too. No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me. Seems like you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me. Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with, Someone I'll always laugh with, even at my worst, I'm best with you. It's like you're always stuck in second gear, Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year. But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
