THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

Since I'm heading to visit the Mountain Piecemakers Quilt Guild in Burnsville, NC...I thought I'd leave you with something to ponder.  After all.....I hear from so many of you on a regular basis.....with blog comments or personal emails, this seems to fit.


My girlfriend and supreme quilter Linda Cantrell gave me permission to share something from her Facebook.

Friendship ~ None of that Sissy StuffAre you tired of those sissy 'friendship' poems that always sound good,

but never actually come close to reality?
Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship.
You will see no cute little smiley faces on this ~Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.

• When you are sad ~ I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
• When you are blue ~ I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
• When you smile ~ I will know you are thinking of something that I would probably want to be involved in.
• When you are scared ~ I will rag on you about it every chance I get until you're NOT.
• When you are worried~ I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.
• When you are confused ~ I will try to use only little words.
• When you are sick ~Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.
• When you fall ~ I will laugh at your clumsy ass, but I'll help you up.

This is my oath ..... I pledge it to the end. 'Why?' you may ask ~ because you are my friend. 
Friendship is like peeing in your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.
