True friendship has a significant value in my life. It has been responsible for teaching me a lot of unforgettable lessons. Some are even life-changing so I truly cherish it. It is the time of the year since Deepavali month started early for us, we gathered, drank, ate, shared past, current, and possible future happenings, and departed with cherished memories till the next round. 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒖𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚❤️ Ultimately, our friends also become our family. A true friendship makes life easy and gives us good times. When the going gets tough, I depend on friends for solace. Sometimes, it is impossible to share everything with family, that is where my true friends come in. We share, care, and laugh without the fear of being judged or wanting to change one another. Cherishing beautiful and even unusual memories is something we should never forget. True friendship is a rare gift, but keeping it alive is just as important. Though life may take us down different paths, we mustn't let distance become a barrier.

We've thrived for 3 decades and remain dedicated to many more ahead. You’ll Never Walk Alone. Thank you, bros.

On this Happy Friendship Day, I'm reminded of a beautiful lesson in love and companionship that unfolds outside our window every evening. Two birds visit our bird feeder daily, but there's a touching twist to their routine. The lighter-colored bird, slightly larger, struggles to balance on the feeder. Instead of leaving its companion behind, the smaller bird steps up in the most heartwarming way. For about 10 minutes each evening, we witness a beautiful dance of friendship: 1. The smaller bird carefully selects a corn seed from the feeder. 2. It flies back to its larger friend perched on a branch. 3. With gentle precision, it places the seed directly into its companion's mouth. This process repeats, a testament to unwavering dedication. This simple yet profound act of kindness reminds us of what true friendship means: • Patience • Adaptation • Selflessness As we celebrate Friendship Day, let's take a moment to appreciate the bonds we share and the lessons we can learn from nature. Sometimes, the most powerful examples of love and friendship come from the most unexpected places. What acts of kindness have you witnessed lately that touched your heart?

BUT In today’s life everything becomes materialistic. Do we really know what’s real friendship? My answer is no, i really don’t know. One friendship we saw between Krishna & Sudama. The bond, the dedication towards each other. Today we make friends for our benefits only. But #friends are those, who stand beside each other without judging them, whatever the situation, a strong #mental #siritual #bonding. If we make any wrong decision, make us understand where we are wrong, without humiliating us, if we take any strong decision they always be with us to support, whatever the story or situation may be. friends makes us realise what’s truly important to our life. In today’s life everything is missing. We forgot our own self also. So start a strong bond with our ownselve, with our own soul, to recognise our #inner #power. The light when we able to see inside us, we automatically spread lights to everyone around. Then we can make a friendship which is #pure #powerful #strong

Friendship is one of the most precious gifts we can experience in life. It's a bond that transcends time, distance, and differences, offering us a sense of belonging and support that is truly irreplaceable. On this Friendship Day, let's take a moment to celebrate the friends who make our lives brighter and more meaningful. Friends are the family we choose. They stand by us through thick and thin, sharing in our joys and comforting us in our sorrows. They know our quirks and love us just the same. Whether it's a spontaneous adventure, a late-night heart-to-heart, or simply a quiet moment shared over coffee, friends enrich our lives in countless ways. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. However, Friendship Day reminds us to pause and appreciate the connections that truly matter. It's a day to reflect on the memories we've made, the laughter we've shared, and the unwavering support we've received from our friends. As we celebrate this special day, let's reach out to our friends, near and far, to remind them of their importance in our lives.

The Thursday Edition of Life Begins at Sunrise. Thursday's thoughts to really think about..... I have been doing a lot of reading and studying about what makes good friends and what it takes to have a good solid friendship throughout life itself. I will try to cover this topic and see where it goes. Some friendships are made for each other while others you have to wonder why..... The first rule of thumb is simple, in order to be a friend you must be a friend. These ideas or concepts are not in any particular order. Get too know your friend(s). Know your real true friends almost as well as you know yourself if not better. Having friends you can count on goes a long way. Tell your friends you appreciate them. Say hello to your real friends everyday. Thank your friends for being just that, your friends. Friends lives matter! Friends are a very important part of life itself. Take a friend to breakfast today. Well friends that's all for now. OKBYE!
