Life's surprises

Dear friends,
A friend left me a comment on my blog today...
"One of the most incredible things in life is that tomorrow we might meet someone who will change our life with their friendship, love, influence, support. It gives me so much hope!

Keep writing,"
I am so inspired enough to do another post today. I wonder who i will meet today on my life's journey. I find the internet and extraordinary part of this journey.
Maybe someone new has discovered my blog. Blessings upon you all.

Changes in friendships

Dear friends,
Just been in another quiet phase so no blogging and no art work. Back into it again as of yesterday. I was at a friends last night from church and she is a new friend and I am amazed at how we are becoming an important part of each others lives. We see each other for a couple of hours each week and we talk and share so much about our lives. I don't see my closest friends as often. It really interests me how much time we spend with different people in our lives. Often those closest to us we spend less time with than other people. I always found working interesting with the way we spend so much time with workmates often more than our families.
Meanwhile I am so grateful for my new found friend and all that our future friendship holds.

Encouragement

Dear friends,
A very kind friend online said how encouraging I am so often and i was so flattered. I try to encourage friends and others when I do my emailing and comments on discussions. So many friends and people encourage me. The comment made to me encourages me to do more encouraging. Try encouraging others and you will be amazed at the blessings that come from it. Being interested in people is such a joy. Are you an encouraging person?

Bravery

Dear friends, I have just been reading about courage and bravery. When was the first time in your life you were brave? I was about 5 years old and was in hospital getting my tonsils out. I was alone and trying to be brave.
