Days sans Petanque: Friends



Once in a while everybody has a crappy day. Not the end of the world. Not a day to kick the dog or flush the goldfish, but a day when it's nice to have a friend you can call on the phone and just vent. Someone who will listen and when you are finished will simply let you know they understand. And after a bit of silence you can sigh, and ask them how they are doing. And they will tell you—the truth. And you will be there for them. That's what friends are for.

When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
You've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
—Randy Newman

"There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature." ― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

"If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever." ― Alfred Tennyson

"You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes." ― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
