I Raise my Glass to Friends

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Over the years, it's been easy to lose touch with friends; even the ones I thought would be around till deaths do us part…. Sometimes friends grow apart for good, but there are times when a friendship is worth tracking down and finding again. To friends - I raise my glass to you.

.

If friendship were a garden,
Then flowers ‘d be the friends
How well our gardens cultivate
On each gardener that depends

Some flowers must remain in light,
And some will need support
But all require love and care
Regardless of their sort

We grow our gardens row by row
One flower at a time
Helping each establish roots
Our efforts quite sublime

Each flower that we’ve ever touched
In truth will touch us back

Running out to find some sunshine today. Somehow it got lost in the shuffle last night.

The day would not be complete without a flower. Always there must be a flower. Let it be green! This flower is dedicated to #ThursdayGreen #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra. Suffice to say, this will color my world as I do an Irish jig, laddie.

Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, so we must try harder to give everyone the proper focus.


Later that night
I held an atlas in my lap
Ran my fingers across the whole world
And whispered,
"Where does it hurt?"
It answered,

"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"

The weather forecast says that sunshine is on the way later today. This was a little preview. Another gorgeous​​s and light-filled post, Denise>)

Oh!! The fact that they have a date for it is very encouraging! :)

I adore the sun-shiny part of life, but, a little rain makes for a bit of fun along the way. Thanks for stopping by and for the generous upvotes and resteems, Pryde @prydefoltz They surely are appreciated!

Such beautiful photography...every pic better than the last!

I remember hearing that Queen song when my mom was driving me back from the dentist. Sure sparked a nostalgia moment for me, so many thanks.

Oh, yes. That was a song that everyone knows, young and old. There is just something ageless about Queen. And Freddie. We cannot ever forget him.

Oh, the weather is lying to me! It looks so nice out and yet, it feels so cold for here. Bring back my almost -Spring days!

You never really loose good friends, just see them less often.

Beautiful sunset, I like the heron stood on the fence right next to the sun - really perfect photo.

Truth! I can pick up where I left off five years ago with some of them! Isn't that almost insane sounding?

I have had some friends since I was five and others I have found along the way. It sure does make life interesting, doesn't it?

Hey you! I hope all is going well in your world!

Gorgeous photos and I join you in the toast to friends :) including you my friend

Thank you so much for the words, JJ and I raise my glass to you... indeed! Oh, itis almost the weekend!

Yes indeed TGIF
I have wandered off on a tangent fir my Market Friday post that’s coming in a couple of hours but I know your used to me doing that lol 😂

Beautiful photos and thoughtful reminders on the need to nurture our good friends.
As time goes by, so gradually my old friends pale away from my radar. Sometimes we just grow apart following different orbits in this universe. Per chance some old friends got hurled back into the same orbit for a while.
Life gives us lots of fond memories of those good old friends.

I agree! I have some that I have known since I was five and others I meet throughout my life.

Life is good.

Oh! You still have friends from early school days. How nice! We moved house a few times so I lost contact with my old friends at schools. But I met some new friends along the way.

Thank you very much for your kind support.

I moved also, especially after school, when I left my parents' house but, I have always written letters - even to this day I will write and post it in the mail. I still love to get letters!

My pleasure!

It just keeps getting better. Lovely photos.

Oh, we have only just begun!! I can hardly wait for the spring to catapult into my life. I am sitting on the luggage rack at the airport with the weather coming around and coming around, leaving me standing and waiting.

Or so it seems.

I have spied some snowdrops and daffodils, the early birds here and in no time at all, we will be enjoying the changing of the guard. Winter to Spring. I'm ready for it!

So, thank you for stopping by and let's hope that soon this will be a regular sight instead of it being culled from the files. :)
