The Gift of a Friend

 


 Friends are tremendous gifts in our lives.

Long-time friends as well as new ones contribute greatly to our sense of well being, confidence, kindness, and generosity.

All of the above benefit from friendship.

While in a parking lot in the downtown of the new place where I live,  a horn beeped. 

 

At first, I jumped and then heard the familiar voice of a friend.

We both got out of our cars, hugged, and this gift of a friend then told me she had a present for me in her car!  

 

An artist, she had drawn a flower in chalk on the outside of a brown bag. 

 Inside was a bouquet of silk sunflowers, a pair of gahgah earrings that were just my style, and some decorative faux vines with lights attached to them! 

 

The gifts touched my heart and so did my friend.

Lovely gifts from your friend. I like a friend who is there when you need them. Someone you can call anytime, anywhere and with anything to say.

What a thoughtful gift from your friend. And all the things you like too. I bet the honk startled you, but what a pleasant surprise. The earrings are my birthstone. Such a pretty color. Yes, friends are a blessing to us, and I'm thankful for your friendship so much, Susan.
