And a very Happy Thursday to you all!
Okay, now is where I come clean….I forgot to get a post ready for today. I am totally unprepared, and since it is actually seven pm Wednesday night, trust me when I say I have no plans on trying to put together sites, contests, tips, quotes and suggestions for you today.
Having said that, I have one quote for you and then I’ll leave you to take care of other business.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.”
Henri Nouwen
As I was frantically scouring my mind for something to say in this post, friendship came to me in a flash.
My two best friends in the world are Bev and my son, but they are not why I write about friendship today. Today I want to acknowledge all of you, my online friends and my writing brothers and sisters.
Only you know the struggles that a writer goes through. Only you can accurately feel the joy when a minor success comes our way. And only you understand the passion that keeps us going against ridiculous odds.
For almost two years now I have needed you, and I have come to consider many of you very close friends even though we have never met. I have shared my weaknesses with you. I have shared my triumphs and my fears and my hopes with you, and throughout it all you have been accepting and compassionate and yes, loving.
I am proud to be a part of your community. Thank you and love to you all.
Bill
