A friend.......
is someone who keeps your secrets
and never divulges them, even if tortured -
or worse, tempted with chocolate!
is someone who quietly destroys the photograph
that makes you look like a beached whale.
is someone who knows you don't know
what you're talking about, but allows you to reach
that conclusion on your own.
is someone who goes with you on a diet -
and off it too.
is someone who doesn't say "I told you so."
no matter how tempting it might be.
A friend of the truest kind is kind and true.

Well, Peggy, I am with Poetikat. Chocolate can be a deal breaker. Sorry. LOL
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I am glad to know you will delete pictures from the memory card or carefully crop them and digitally picnik them. :-)
did you write that, Peggy, it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the part about friends letting you reach your own conclusion that, indeed, you haven't a clue! haha! So true!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by the blog...it's always nice to have you visit!
Oh, and I wanted to bestow a little something to you :)
ReplyDeleteHow very true, Peggy! wise words as ever.
ReplyDeleteYou are a darling cyber-friend, Peggy. Am touched and pleased you choose me - and wise to continue to choose you in turn:)
ReplyDeleteHi cyber buddies!
ReplyDeleteSimple moments are the best treasures, like when you read comments from your regular followers, and it lifts you up and makes you smile. That is a simple moment. I hope you all have many of those today.
And yes Christine I did pen these words.
Love and hugs all round.

Thank you for answering a few of my questions!
ReplyDeleteDolphins....I think you need to add swimming with them to your Bucket List 3 or 4 more times at least! When they are your totem animals, it may be considered soaking with old friends :)
Loved learning a bit more about you, too!
Enjoy your weekend!
What a wonderful description of being a friend. There are truly not many like that and they are worth there weight in gold without losing it in a diet
