Bambi would like to wish you a wonderful new year filled with whatever your heart wishes.
If she may, she would like to also wish you what she has been blessed with in 2022 (and in life in general): Friendship!
Friendship can take so many forms in life.
First, and to begin with, being the kindest friend we can be with ourselves at all times, from the moments of fun with loved ones, to times of solitude with internal trips as per the earlier post [thanks Roula :)], and to hardship in life.
Second, true friends can become family. Is there anything more meaningful in life than a caring family?
Third, friendship is also about remaining true to ourselves, to our deepest values, and speaking our mind.
Fourth, friendship is also about being/remaining the most genuine “friend” we can be to loved ones; and friendly with those who reach out in times of hardship.
Fifth, being thankful to both our faithful and ALL the new “friends” (some are a true gift of life!).
Last but not least, as a friend to both herself and others, Bambi refuses to lose her humanity in life. It is in this spirit that she wishes everyone a wonderful new year. This includes those who have been friendly as well as those who may have lacked humanity to the point of indulging in lies, defamation, and/or attempt of cancellation. This also includes those who may have lacked the courage to take the time to remain friends, even privately. May everyone’s new year be filled with the beauty of humanity and the true meaning of friendship.
To conclude this post in music, one song comes to Bambi’s mind on new year. It is Ms. Céline Dion’s celebration of friendship (English lyrics copy-pasted from YouTube follow the melody). Our dear Céline is right: “friendship is the most beautiful country” [“L’amitié c’est le plus beau pays“].
Happy 2023, dear friends in humanity ❤️!
Bonne Année 2023 chers amis de l’humanité ❤️! ️
“If it’s a friend
If he’s for you
What you are for him
The one who can love you
Without ever judging you
The one that stays when the others already left you
I say that if it’s a friend
Then you have succeeded in your life
You already found the evening star
And you’re not alone anymore on the road
If it’s a friend
Give your bread and your wine and your life
And do the world all over again
Like have done three hundred times
Don Quixote and his old Sancho Panza
If it’s your friend
Tell him so he’ll sing and sing with him
Friendship is the most beautiful country
If it’s a friend
If he becomes crazy when you do crazy things
If he shows you sometimes he feared for you
If nothing less than the best satisfies him for you
I say that if it’s a friend
Then you succeded in your life
Each one on our side
We’re only thow halves
Together we go over mountains
If it’s a friend
Give your bread and your wine and your life
And do the world all over again like have done three hundred times
Don Quixote and his old Sancho Panza
If it’s your friend
Tell him so he’ll sing and sing with him
Friendship is the most beautiful country
If it’s your friend
If he has your laughing if he has your tears too
If he has the same angers
Fill him when the earth
With its trumpets and its wars goes wrong
I say that if he’s a friend
You can say a huge thank you to life
Because it made of him
A brother you choose
And the companion of luck
If it’s a friend
Give your bread and your wine and your life
And do the world all over again like have done three hundred times
Don Quixote and his old Sancho Panza
If it’s your friend
Tell him so he’ll sing and sing with him
Friendship is the most beautiful country
If it’s a friend
Give your bread and your wine and your life
And do the world all over again like have done three hundred times
Don Quixote and his old Sancho Panza
If it’s your friend
Tell him so he’ll sing and sing with him”.
