THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Friendship is an interesting word. A friend is someone who knows all about you and still likes you. And a ship, of course, is a large vessel. So that means that a friend-ship is a vessel that holds two friends. A friend-ship can help you reach your destination, your goals in life. A friend-ship can carry you over the roughest waters, the most difficult times. A friend-ship can provide you shelter in an emotional storm. Homer, a Greek poet, said: Two friends, two bodies, one soul If you have a close friendship, count your blessings. The friendship can take you far. If you don’t, remember the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: The only way to have a friend is to be one.Today, remember to be a friend to someone.
