*** Out of time tonight. Editing is incomplete *** Rhb

Note:  This entry is named "Friendship I" as I am sure I will be writing more on friendship as time goes on.

I have been recently reminded, that the measure of a friend is not how much time you spend together;
but how quickly your closeness resumes after a separation & how little time seems to have passed.       
That is to say, true friendship transcends separation.

Rhb

 

Generally, We don't get to choose our relatives, but we do get to chose our friends. anon.
It is a great fortune, when we would choose our relatives as our friends. Rhb
