Friendships Are Like Beautiful Flowers

How are friendships like beautiful flowers?

Friends bring joy into our lives with their smiles and hugs. They care about what's important to us and always listen. 

Friends will encourage you to take vacation time. You will come back home feeling refreshed, and, hopefully, with lots of camera memories to enjoy over the years to come.

Beautiful flowers can remind us of an old saying, "Stop and smell the roses". This saying can mean different things to people, but to me, it means, slow down and enjoy being with people you love and enjoy things around you.  Beautiful flowers leave imprints on our mind and heart, just like friends do.

Today, I had a memorable lunch with two dear friends. There was lots of sharing and catching up. My two friends have a great sense of humor and tell amazing and touching stories.

It's well into the evening, and I am still thinking about my two friends at lunch today.
 
We gain courage and strength when we listen to our friends' stories.
