F-R-I-E-N-D-S OR F-O-E

You know some people in this world have NO friends and I couldn't imagine my life without my friends. They cheer me up if I get down, they are always there to listen to me, we can laugh at absolutley nothing, or we can laugh at the stupidest things! So today I stopped and thought how BLESSED I am to have the friends that I have in my life!!

Some may be asking well what is the meaning of a friend? I looked up the word on dictionary.com and here is what I found

noun
1.a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.

2.a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter: friends of the Boston Symphony.

3.a person who is on good terms with another; a person who is not hostile: Who goes there? Friend or foe?

4.a member of the same nation, party, etc.

5.(initial capital letter) a member of the Religious Society of Friends; a Quaker.


Here are some quotes that I just ♥ when it comes to friends

*Friends are the bacon bits in the salad bowl of life."

*A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."

*Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things.

*Friends are kisses blown to us by angels.

*A friend accepts us as we are yet helps us to be what we should.

*It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Then I thought hmmm...... well how many foes do I have in my life? Here is the answer to that question for yall. In my eyes I have no foes; why you ask? Because I could care LESS what those people think about me. I do not live my life to please you, I do not think about you, and to be honest I really dont care what you do. Am I civil with these so called foes? Why sure, Im not going to waste my life away thinking about what you do. Now this does not mean that i like everybody I come into contact with because the good Lord knows that isn't true, but Ill be nice to you, why not? Mom always said kill em with kindness!

Anywho I looked up the definition of foe and this is what I found:

–noun
*1.a person who feels enmity, hatred, or malice toward another; enemy: a bitter foe.

*2.a military enemy; hostile army.

*3.a person belonging to a hostile army or nation.

*4.an opponent in a game or contest; adversary: a political foe.

*5.a person who is opposed in feeling, principle, etc., to something: a foe to progress in civil rights.

*6.a thing that is harmful to or destructive of something: Sloth is the foe of health.


NOW THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE:

You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.
