Friends are the angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

I've been thinking about all my friends lately. I have friends that have been in my life for many years, there are those I've reconnected with after a long absence, the ones I've recently made and the friends that I've met through blogging and Facebook. Omg....I am truly blessed!!! I take huge comfort in knowing that I have so many ears that will listen to me, support me and laugh at my stupid comments and jokes!!! I can only hope to be a great friend also. We are all on different journeys but we are bound together by friendship, love, hope and respect!! A big *THANKS* to all my awesome buddies!!! : )
fill your heart with art and friendship

Hi Manon
Your painting is so peaceful looking, so calm, so refeltive.
I have been reflecting too, about friends that I have made along my journey and in blog land.
I was thinking about how my life has become so much fuller.
So much richer, my horizon so much bigger because of friends that I have made along the winding paths of my journey.
Une belle oeuvre qui illustre parfaitement bien la sagesse... celle de l'amitiƩ.
Je suis heureuse de te retrouver... Je reprends contact avec mon ordinateur!
Gros bisous
You are surrounded on all sides, no doubt. Just reach out.
Cheers!
How can we not love you, Manon? I know that I am blessed to have you as a blogging and artist friend.
From reading your posts for quite some time now and looking at your art I would imagine you are a wonderful person to have as a friend, Manon. Love the angel! She has a beautiful face.
oh how beautiful Manon!!! Your friendship is an amazing gift!!! you are one amazing person...and your heart is as big as they come!!!
Hugs

The friends I have made through blogging were such a pleasant 'side effect' that I never expected. I sit here in front of the computer and connect with people across the world. It is just wonderful.
Always love seeing your paintings Manon.
Isn't it great how our definitions of friendship change over the years? Some of my best friends are people I've known forever but don't see for months or years at a time, and others are new and known only through Blogger but they somehow support and enrich my life more than people I see every day! So many ways to spread the love around! Thanks for being such a good blogfriend, you! We really need to work on getting that in-person thing happening someday soon!
oh my gosh manon!
the light you created in this painting is amazing!
it radiates positive energy just like you!
i am so lucky to have you as a friend!
Someone like you must but have bunches of friends. and that is so sweet for you and of you--- angels they are, that's so true, my dear-
How i'd love to meet you ion person and be one of them.
Lovely painting
Hugs

I like the painting, an extension of the sentiment placed in your words.
Such a beautiful post! Yes friends are a blessing,they keep you going. Love your angel,she's beautiful.
such a beautiful post....embrace the perfect word. gorgeous painting, as always♥
hey Manon, well you have a heavenly blue in this, and how tight and elegantly made are the arms, the long gaze of the sitter .... as for friends... a few years ago I noticed that all my friends were getting wrinkled and their tummy's were getting slightly bigger, apart from that they were all going nutty .... 'thank goodness', I thought to myself, 'I'm the only one who hasn't changed' :)
Friendship is a beautiful thing, Manon. The world would not be the same without it. I feel blessed to have met you through blogging and I am enjoying getting to know you better on this journey.
