Our friends are like a ray of sunshine in our lives… and vice versa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We may sometimes end friendships in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, friendship could slowly but surely fade out of existence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that we may make new friends at any stage of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, perhaps most importantly (even if it may be rare), we are blessed to have childhood friendships that can last a lifetime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many beautiful poems, songs, and sayings have been written on friendships in all languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, from an older post, Bambi learned that Mr. Richard Wagner reflected on friendship as follows (English follows the French): <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abQuelle noblesse d\u2019avoir un ami, mais combien plus noble d\u2019\u00eatre un ami\u00bb.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow noble to have a friend, but how much more noble to be a friend\u201d.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bambi’s older post, from March 26, 2020, was entitled “Why don’t I be a good “friend” to myself, especially in a pandemic<\/em>?”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-year old post, mentioned above and shown below, was inspired by a guest (a deer!) in Bambi’s backyard. The current post that Bambi started preparing yesterday night, is also inspired by the theme of friendship. Well, what a coincidence! Guess what happened to Bambi early this morning? She bumped into another (or the same?) “deer” friend in their garden-backyard :). This friendly encounter was magical: it made her day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyhow, regardless of any wild animal in your garden or pet in your house, Bambi hopes you are a good “friend<\/em>” to yourself before being or becoming a friend for others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like any type of relationship, whether personal or professional, friendships take ONE basic (simple and free-of-charge) underlying ingredient, called respect. Without the latter, friendships lack the potential for growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To summarize and conclude, in Bambi’s mind, self-respect comes first. It is a must to truly respect\/love oneself… and then others. This being said, she will stop here to let the following few songs remind us of the beauty of friendship. Long live friendship! Vive l’amiti\u00e9! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
