Nurturer, Friend

Perhaps the greatest definition of a friend is one who nurtures - essentially being the support of another person for a moment in time - little by little, problem by problem - and one who shares in the joys of another - moment by moment, step by step.

Sharing these times with my friends and family - especially a day at the beach - is so uplifting for me - and this year we got together twice.  Once at Avon by the Sea, and than on the fishing beach at Spring Lake - a well kept secret...Shhh!

There are times when the ear of a confident helps us sort out the cobwebs of life - we offer our hand  - it will be alright, we say - knowing that each time we are setback in life - we'll get a chance to move forward  - if only we take the chance.  Assure each other that not giving up /not giving in - is half the struggle.

Seeing old and dear friends is another reason to Celebrate.  Remembering that you were once close friends -  times you shared were a treasure - and always will be - the distance of time and space is meaningless  - we see each other again and reminisce.

Stay around my friend, for another day, when things are lovely,  when you sail on a cool breeze of salty air, reach new heights - stay around my friend for we nurture each other.  Life takes us to new heights - we help each other hold on along the way.
