Every other person I run into has a cold, raspy throat and sneezing.
Well thank goodness I had a joyful day yesterday cause I feel bad today.
I caught the cold, raspy throat and sneezing and have 2 ear aches.
But joy of joys, yesterday had breakfast with my beautiful red head friend.
My Cyndie.
My dear dear friend.
We worked together as intake nurses for years actually putting together the intake department of our home health agency.
She still works for that agency but since it is out of town she never has time to visit.
I so hope you have a friend such as I do.
I so hope you have a friend such as I do.
To have been raised in such totally different circumstances I can never believe how we two share such similar souls.
Literature, art, music, crossword puzzles, the Bible, with such totally different interpretations but we found our common ground and did we ever learn from each other.
I was the first Roman Catholic she ever knew and she was the first Seventh Day Adventist I ever knew.
We could not believe the differences we had been taught about each other.
Shame, shame, shame.
We are so glad we grew up to know the same Jesus.
We have even attended church together.
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

It is wonderful to read about such a friendship...so supportive and loving, rich and full. Nurses have it rough. I know. My sister's been one all her adult life. It's not easy and these times are most difficult for nearly everyone.
Oh...feel better, Peggy! Echinacea, echinacea, echinacea...
Love your post about friendships! So thankful to the Lord for the special friends He's sent my way to walk beside us in our journey of faith. Beautiful post and love the quotes! Get well soon! Nursing a sinus infection here and feel all stuffed up! Hopefully this too shall pass!
Sorry you are not feeling well. It doesn't take long for the fall-winter germs to find us. Sigh.
That tea looks like just the ticket. We've got the virus in the house (my son's girlfriend has been down with sore throat, cough, and high temp for almost a week) so the well among us are on Tamiflu. My flu shot hasn't kicked in yet, unfortunately. And it's given me joy to see what a good boyfriend my son is, tending to his sick sweetie, taking her to the doctor, making her food, and all that. I raised him right!
Peggy,
What sweet thoughts! It is so precious to have a dear friend such as yours. Since I don't have sisters, the Lord has given me a few precious ones who are my sisters in Christ, and am I ever thankful for them every day!
I love your Walter Winchell quote--very true. We are blessed.
Love,
Christine

Hi Peggy,
I love reading posts on friendship and this one is just heartwarming! What a beautiful friendship you have with Cyndie and I'm blessed how you appreciate her and feel for her struggles.I'm also amazed how God brought you together and how Jesus became the common ground in your relationship.
I pray that you would feel better soon and have a restful weekend.
Blessings!

Hi Peggy,
I'm late visiting other "Tea-Talkers"...was swamped all afternoon since I put my post up! I hope you feel better soon...what a fun mug you have! Love the little fox :-)
Blessings,
Lori
Hope you feel better real soon. I, too, have had that throat problem and coughing. Seems everyone I know has. Bad year for it, I guess.
Love your cup... my husband was a fox hunter so he would have loved it.
