Morning Coffee

As I sipped my morning cup of coffee, which is a wonderful blend of Cinnamon Pecan, Hazelnut and Cafe Bustelo (an expresso), and listened to a radio program I leaned back in my chair and took note of my cluttered bulletin board replete with pictures, notes, cartoons, business cards..........

I noticed a wall hanger with a message about love and it's delicate nature, it said in part:
Love is a strange thing
it is a flower so delicate
that a touch will bruise it
and so strong that nothing
will stop it's growth.

There is an old stock performance chart that showing 15.9% (that when I had some money).
I have an old picture of TJ Hoover which I took when he had no front teeth but a great smile.
A clipping entitled The Things God Does Not Know, I'll let your mind swirl that around for a while.
Of course my bb would not be complete without a picture of my sweetie, it's not my favorite but I like it.
But what really caught my eye was a hand written note about friendship:

TRUE FRIENDSHIP

Arabian Proverb

A true friend is one to whom one can pour out all the contents of one's heart,

chaff and grain together,

knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it,

keeping what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.

My hope is, is that there is someone in your life whom you call a friend and that in turn are showing yourself to be a friend.
