"The medicine of life is to have true faithful friends."

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.

"Pooh!" he whispered.

"Yes, Piglet?"

"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw.

"I just wanted to be sure of you."



This week was the pits. Just crummy all around. Luckily, my best friend came home to escape Hurricane Irene. She didn't actually know how bummed I had felt this week. An hour on the phone, two movies, birthday cake and Chinese takeout later... I'm feeling somewhat back to myself. And since last week was my birthday, we are going out tonight to celebrate. And get this amazing chocolate cake. I'll definitely write about that, OR I will write about how they convinced me to go to a different restaurant. If that happens, we'll see. At any rate, I am so happy for good friends who are there to help you through tough times.

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." -Albert Schweitzer
