It is not wise to count your friends
on a bright sunny day.
When the sky is blue
and smiles come so easily.
 

Instead wait for a storm,
when the clouds are dark
and the day grows cold.
Laughter is not heard
in your heavy heart.


Then when a friend comes
and stands beside you
and lifts your spirits to the sky
and laughter is in your heart,
he or she deserves the name...
  "Friend"

Thank you, my Friend,
for braving the storms with me
and for making the sunny days
so much brighter.

This is Debbie who must be an angel of this earth.

Debbie lives in Arkansas.  I met her through the group, GFANS.

I have been fortunate and blessed to have met a friend who is there when you need her, and wants to share your ups and downs in life.   I have so much to be thankful for, and I truly am thankful that Debbie calls me friend.

Debbie is one of those special people who hasn't yet figured out how special she is.

Meet Evelyn

I met Evelyn through Ladies-of-the-Heart,

 a group of women 5,000+  member strong.

Evelyn has helped me to "see" and is one

of my Guardian Angels on the internet.

She has dedicated much of her web page to

her granddaughter, Dana, who was killed by

a drunk driver in July 2003.  My prayers go

out to this family.

Please visit Evelyn's website and sign

her guestbook.

 

I am so honored, Evelyn, for your warm &

loving gift of friendship. A gentle & wise

 friend.

 

Hey, this is Carol!

Visit Carol's Web Home!

Thank you for these lovely gifts, Carol

 

I met Carol through RAOK.  I was her

"secret spook" for the 2003 Spooktacular

event!

Boy, did she get ripped off!    I was bound

and determined to create a web page for her.

(I've never made one before!).  Boy, did I bite

off more than I could chew!

I stayed up late several nights, neglected

my family, and did absolutely nothing

but work on Carol's Halloween gift! 

I would not have pulled it off if

The Great Pumpkin had not have pitched

in and helped me.  Thanks Michelly~

Carol, in her graciousness, said she just

loved it, and warmly thanked me.

Who is Carol?  Only a fantastic

seasoned web designer!!

What a friend and how much fun she is.

Visit Carol's Spook page!

Carol, why don't you love me no more?

Anne!

 

Anne is one of my new Girl-Frienz

 who started an email group called

"Cherished Golden Friends".

Already Anne has offered help with the

dreaded PSP and web paging.  I think I'm

lucky indeed.

Thanks Anne!

 

 

Anne has been on a quest to get me to check out

another

 on- line group.

She succeeded.  I joined GFANS!

 

 

 

Hey! I've made a new friend!

This is Patty.  She is the committee leader of

Secret Friends.   She has given me a crash course

in PSP, sparkles & design.   She's helped me to

be a secret friend in many, many ways.  But most

 of all, I have had total support from Patty, and

always with a smile!  Patty's best advice

 was for me to just enjoy.  And I am.

 

Patty's great in PSP; all my GFANS  sisters

are!!  

Patty is always helping me out of a jam.  

She has made me signature tags, and created

beautiful graphics of myself and my children.

A Heart of Gold, is she.

Friends

Thank you for sending me the things
to make me think, laugh or smile.
For when I am down
it makes the hurt go away
if only for a while.

That is why friends are so dear,
just because they love you.
And you always know they're there
to lend a listening ear
and to take away the blues.

It is also why I thank my God...
for the friends he sends my way
For He knows we all need some cheer
and the support each and every day.

So to my wonderful friends
I send a rose to you.
Because I know that you all
are my friends through and true.

In each of us is a special gift
for if we love one another
It can surpass so much pain and fear
And give help and love to others.

So take this rose my friend,
and hold it close to your heart

And always remember me,
for we will never be apart...
