FRIENSHIPS

A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.
~ William Arthur Ward

No matter how old we get a friendship is something to hold dear. My dearest friend is Lissa -- without her I would not make it thru days many times! She listens and laughs with me, cries with me, celebrates with me and sometimes just sympathizes with me. She came into my life thru someone else and at the time we both just clicked from the very start! I cannot imagine my life without her in it-- nor without her family, all of whom I love as my own! She is a sister of my heart! We met on the internet first thru our scrapbooking obsession but have met face to face a few times and talk on the phone all the time! I thank God daily for a friend such as she is.

I love you girlfriend--my YAYA sissy :-)

A friend drops their plans when you're in trouble, shares joy in your accomplishments, feels sad when you're in pain. A friend encourages your dreams and offers advice--but when you don't follow it, they still respect and love you.

My "Wolfie Bahaby" -- Firewolf--A dear friend came from a yahoo psp group of all places--she touched my heart with her love for her beloved kitty and the care she took of her all the time she was blessed to have her. We lost touch for awhile but once again scrapping brought us back in touch and I would not be without her friendship! Dear "wolfie"--lover of cats and other critters--such a softie inside I love you dearly my friend! I wish we lived closer than clear across the ocean! I know you don't do "cute" lol but figured the cats were something you could handle lol. Your friendship means more than you may know but trust when I say I would not give it up!

Thank you for all the additional gifties you send my way too!

Diane! My dear friend who was the first close friend I ever made online! That was so many years ago I don't want to think about it lol. We have been thru alot girl..together and seperate but no matter the years nor miles between us we always find each other when we need each other! I wish you joy and happiness in your new life as a wife ...and love to your girls who have always been "my girls" too. I thank you for sharing them with me and for all these years of your friendship and love! From that first time in an AOL chatroom to the visits with each other in person and phone and online we just clicked. Our partnership of holding the windows closed and throwing away the room keys still make me laugh! You are a true joy to have as a friend! I know you are not online alot now that you are a newlywed haha but do hope you enjoy visiting here!

How does one keep from "growing old inside"? Surely only in community. The only way to make friends with time is to stay friends with people…. Taking community seriously not only gives us the companionship we need, it also relieves us of the notion that we are indispensable. ---- Robert Mcafee Brown

Friendships formed at some wonderful sites like Digitals and 3Scrapateers where I am a digi designer as well. Throughout the past year with our health issues and personal life many of them have gone above and beyond just the roles of online acquaintances. For each of them who have kept us in blessings and prayers to the ones who stay in touch via email checking on how we are--I love you for it and thank you from the bottom of my heart!

You can visit them any time here:

"Bobby and Vonnie" --Thousands of miles away you became a part of me.. you are family! Our friendship extends over the miles and I love you both more than words can ever say! You make me laugh, so many times and your kindness is truly a gift of who you are! Bobbo you have done so much to teach me over the years with doing my websites, put up with my silly and sometimes dumb questions, listened when I would panic and laugh with me when I was being totally off the all! Even when I knew you had to be frustrated with me you never let on! When you were sent into my life little did I know how important the two of you would become! I love you both!

You can visit them at his site Bobby's World

Friends are the angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Roxie---Truly one of my oldest friends on earth! Not OLD in the age sense lol since I am older than her by a mile haha but we have been friends since my youngest child was a toddler and no matter how long we go without talking we still are on the same page and it's like we have not been seperated by miles this past 20 some years. We roomied together, played together, laughed together, cried together and yes in our younger days we partied together hahaha. To have that kind of energy now would be nice wouldn't it lol. I love you woman! Poor Bob has put up with us over the years and I never heard him get mad at us for it lol bless him! Our bowling days, our waitress days, our match making days and even our tipsy days still remain such wonderful memories for me!

Tea --what can I tell you about Mz. Tea? I adore her work and her dolls, websets and graphics made me fall in love with pixels all over again these past few years. They have been gathering dust on my hard drive and cd's I burned so figured it was high time I reaquainted myself with her work. I was so happy to find how she has progressed and in total awe of her work! She is a dear to all those who know her!
