Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
July 30th is International Day of Friendship, although some celebrate it the first Sunday in August. The world is filled with too much hatred, too much fighting and too much mistrust of others. The International Day of Friendship is certainly an opportunity to stop, and to reverse, these worldwide problems.
According to the United Nations, the official sponsor of this special day, the International Day of Friendship is day set aside to promote friendship among peoples, cultures and countries. Today is a time to encourage efforts towards peace, and to build bridges among different people. It is a day of respect for others, and a day to celebrate diversity.
On an individual level, use this day to promote friendship in big and small ways. You can begin by extending an olive branch to a sibling or a family member, a neighbor, or an old friend who we've had a falling out with. If we all try just a little the world will be a better, more peaceful place.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
Life is so much better when you have a friend to share it with. Thankfully, I have some really good friends. Some of my friends are like family and my family are my friends.
Whether you’re happy and glad or mad and sad, a friend is always there to share it with. It would be a sad world without someone there to share and care with.
It takes a special person to be a real friend. It takes trust and loyalty and gratefulness to be a best friend. A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.
The best way to have a good friend is to be one.
I want to say a big THANK YOU to all my friends, I really do appreciate you all so much !
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
