Good morning, everyone.Hope all is well. Yes,I'm sitting here at three o'clock in the morning. It seems like this is times when I have astute, very strong ideas and beliefs, and if I allow them to continue till the morning, when I wake up, a lot of the strength and oh, I don't want to see positivity, but I will the strength of the thought is gone. So I'm relatively awake. I thought I might as well record this one, because it's in another important one .I'm going to call this one the strength of friendships. Over the past months, you all know the medical ordeal I've gone through, and there's many times I have a lot of time to sit and ponder, to sit and think about what's going on in my life and what happened, try to figure out, because it's just me.
That's just who I am. Trying to figure out why it happened.What is the benefit of it?
What was I supposed to learn from it? I know my first podcast that was one of the main principles, was, what have I learned from this? Because obviously this was given to me as a learning situation,and I believe at 257 in the morning,I have figured out one,probably many. It's not the only criteria.But I figured out one principle that this sickness has taught me that I didn't knowat 69 years old,hence, there's a lot of things I don't know at 69 years old, but this was one of them,and this is it.I have learned the true meaning of what and is,friendships.People. During the ordeal my friends,which I used to use the term loosely,I don't anymore,my friends came out of the woodwork.Literally ,everywhere I went, more explicitly in my little club, my little coffee clutch, if you will,of friends I've had people,husbands and wives,restaurant owners,just your ordinary people,come out of the woodwork to help me drive hundreds of miles that pick me up without a second thought, Buy me food to fatten me up at no cost to me.Help me get groceries,help me do shopping.Help me get food at a restaurant. That'san open style meal.
I have learned truly what it means to call peopleyour friends and to have friends,and what they mean,not for what they can just do for you,but what they have in their heart for you. You could feel that friendship, how strong it is, and I believe wildly that this was one of the lessons to be learned the hard way.Yes, it surely wasn't an easy lesson to learn, but I've now learned it. I've gone through it, and I hope doing this podcast will help you do it without having to go through such an ordeal. I. But I now know I will take with me during my time when I leave one of my most important principles of life on planet earth as a human being, and that is to understand and have true,true friendship.I've gone through life up to this point believing I had a lot of friends. I mean, in the back of my mind, it was like, I hope they're my friends, because I like them, but not ever really, really knowing this has solidified it. It is set it in stone, if you will. It was, and I hate to use this term, because being used wrong, but it was shown in true light. They didn't have to show it to me.I should have known but I've not known a lot of things at 69 years old, and I'm learning them the hard way. I don't want you to have to go through the hard way to learn these things. That's why I'm doing this podcast, that's why I've done my website, that's why I do this blog I don't want you. I want you to learn from what I've learned.
Sometimes, this is one of them, the hard way, because this is definitely something I don't want anybody to have to go through,because it ain't fun. You Up above. You can take out one, and I know there's many, many more, and I should have more podcasts on the others that I learned as I learned them in time, as they go through, and I learned them in time,I shoulld have more.
So I hope this continues and all is good for you. Podcast is starting to show that it's not doing what it should do. Because, yeah, oh, my website is just rebooted, so I'm going off the air, but
this is my thoughts on friendship.Images
