Hi Hilda, I hope you’re having a good day today. I am Sam goes so fast.. and so is life. But it’s nice to have friends that extend the hand of friendship to you. At those times when the storm is in session., When you have a friend a day is perfect. Because you know you’ll make it through right!? Pangie xx

Yes, so well said and probably can be proved with so many examples. Sometimes the lifeboats are there from sources we are surprised(happily) to see.

You are on the money again! Friends dont let friends, drown And at times, new friends pop up in the moonlight when it seems all is lost. And take you eo safe shores. Lights a fire aon the beach,… cast of dry towel on your shoulders and you know at that point that life can go on when there’s friends in your life like that. I called that miraculous and joy..Pangie xx

Dear Pangie, you beautifully capture the essence of friendship as life's saving grace in tumultuous times. I love how your words are a reminder of the profound support and peace friends provide. This is such heartfelt sentiment. - Blessings, Daniel

Dear Daniel. Friends can be the magic salve in our lives, but when they leave port without a word, it’s impirtant to remember to not “ beat oneself’s up!”. It’s much easier to let them go. We don’t have to’ figure it out!’ They just are inacapable of emoting,’ appreciate those that love us, let the rest be on their way! Thank you- Pangie xxx

Golly G! How you remind me of Roger Ebert, who used to be! I still miss hanging out with him in Old Town, fun parties at my house, and the part I really liked best were for the Chicago Press! I had no idea I was in the midst of greatness at that time.. they were just friends to me ….not anything else. I do like this MonokuM The more I see it the more I like it.. I am blowing my own horn here, and I know it.)) Shabbos Best! Bas Noach, Pangie xx
