I just love that section from the Poo movie not to mention the song which I think Carly Simon had something to do with? Please correct me if I am wrong. I just included it here to give all my readers a little lift.
My research looking for lost friends takes me to some very interesting places and throws up some facinating ideas that people have on the subject of friends and what that word really means. I wanted today to share a few things that I have seen this week that have touched me in one way or another.
Such lovely innocence
I liked this image because it reminded me what a thing of beauty a childhood friendship is. In a way they are the easiest ones to have because the troubles and responsibilities of adult life have not yet had a chance to interfere. Perhaps that is why so few of them survive. If you have a friendship that has survived since childhood you really should cherish it.
Other times it is not the image that touches me so much as the words. People really do write some pofound stuff on this subject. For example I found this quotation on a site and I thought it was particularly fitting for our site.
Friendship is about quality not quantity; never forget that or one day you may wake up to find that you have let a diamond slip through your fingers while you were busy trying to hold on to the stones.
As sad as it it is to say I think I collected a few stones and lost a few diamonds on my travels through life and I sure do miss those diamonds. I guess in a way the analogy is flawed as you would like to think you could tell the difference between diamonds and rocks but it is not that easy with people. You have to look a little more closely and listen more to what your instincts tell you.
The point is that if you have lost a true friend, unlike the diamonds in the quote, they do not have to stay lost. You can use sites such as this and others to try to locate them and remedy your error.
Just the other day I was chatting about a friend I had not seen in many, many years and wondering what had happened to them. The very next day they contacted me on facebook. It was almost spooky, but certainly most welcome.
