may 2008 original post


New Friend, Old Friend, Dear Friend


companionship is a true human virtue that produces love

love fills the air and travels over miles and miles conquering all obstacles in this space we call life

life can be hard, rarely easy, so thank goodness for friends and family

family is either by blood, marriage, or adoption, and so are friends

friendship is a treasure and should be honored and valued greater than any gold, silver or green

I value my friends, new, old, and those I’ve lost touch with

I thank each of you for the love you share

I hope each of you will find happiness and that special space in life that only a true friend deserves

we may let each other down every now and then, being selfish or ignorant, but don’t feel bad because that is human nature

once a friend, always a friend

dear friend

A nice post Deborah. A companion would be nice but, alas, I do not see it in my future.

Happy New Year to you and yours.

pam, we are companions (online friends), but i feel your desire to have that touch. may my words touch you this day and all year long my friend.

lois, happy new years to you and yours. pet those pups for me and cackle along with the harmony of the flock! wink

Deb: you are not a male companion, which is desired, I am afraid.

Nice prose.

i didn't think we were talking about sexual partners solid. imo, it is easy to touch someone and be a companion without having physical contact. it has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with supporting another's desires for a happy life. you are correct solid, i am not male -- i am a woman or an older lady (ha, ha, ha). thanks for the compliment. deb.

I knew you yourself were not, not in the post anyway. I was responding to your comment. I was suggesting others might not be thinking the same as you do when it comes to the word companion. And I was not talking about myself or my desire. I would be more careful using the word we (as in your comment directly above this, not in the post).

not sure what you are afraid of .... i.e. 'i'm afraid.'

the world is we not i, but sometimes i forget others do not hold the same beliefs as i do. maybe we can agree to disagree my friend. deal?

maybe i'll do a post about sex, love, life, and what it means to me and ask for others' responses. maybe not, opera does frown on such subjects. maybe another day, today == i'm going outside and enjoy the sunshine and the south winds. hope your day is going well my friends!
