“True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island… To find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.”
~ Baltasar Gracian

Good morning friends! I was up late last night, with a friend who came over for dinner, drinks and a night of sharing friendship. As we poured one last round, which undoubtedly should have stayed in the bottle, she asked if we had anything that we needed to get up early for?

Yes, I replied. I need to be up for the sunrise.

Not only did I mean this literally, but I posted a similar message out yesterday on my personal blog roll …

Sure, there is much I wish to accomplish today. But really, does anything else matter, but that I awake to each morning?

This life is a present. Your friendships make getting out of bed worthwhile. A true blessing … ♥
