From Eagles Sigs


To still be friends
Even when we do not agree
     on a situation
Is what I think true friendship is

To be able to talk without anger
     and discuss issues
Things that happen to appear
     on this road of life

Knowing that even if we
        do not agree
We can still be friends
        having unconditional
        love and respect

We both have our strong opinions
     and our own
     personal beliefs
Can not we just agree
     to disagree
                 at times

We need to both realize
that neither of us will ever change
So we should not try to push our own
beliefs on each other
And to assure each other that
we will always remain friends
no matter what comes or goes

I wish that we could talk
     and stay calm
Even if we do have to agree
                   to disagree
AND  THAT  WE  WILL  STILL  REMAIN  FRIENDS

Ethel, you wouldn't believe
how often
poets get on the same train...

all bound
for that place
that only dreamers and doers
go.

Karilea, isn't it the truth? I just read Kacy's post, too.
Kind of weird, isn't it?  LOL
Hugs, you

Wow... I wish I had a dollar for every time I've said this. I'd be well on the way to being a very comfortable woman. Let's hope your friend sees eye to eye with your reasoning. It doesn't always turn out that way, and it's hurtful.
Love,
Terri~

In this mixed up world it is hard to find a true friend. Here's hoping everything will turn out alright.
Love and hugs coming your way.

Thanks Kevin. I appreciate that.  
.
Thank you, Linda Lou. I knew that you would.
We're the type that tries to figure it all out,
aren't we?
.
Oh yes, Terri, it is hurtful when we lose a
friend. Sometimes, though, we can do all we
know to do and they still won't agree to
remain friends. Then, all we can do is just go on.  Thanks, sweet lady.

.
I appreciate all of you  
Hugs to each of you  
Ethel

A true friend still loves you whether you always agree or not.  Sometimes a friendship is strengthened by pulling the rope different directions!  Great thoughts you shared, Ethel...~S~

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~S~

So true, Sunny. Sometimes the differences in
a friendship helps each person to grow in their
wisdom and compassions for others. They start understanding
things about others that they didn't realize before.
Hugs to you, my friend

seems to me you're reading my mind.  unfortunately many find it quite easy to just pretend a person never existed.  I battle with a desire to learn how to do that myself or to keep my heart...

Great write Ethel

Ya know what they say.  Curiosity salted the snail.

(smiles) Oh Ethel, I believe the magic of friendship is that we are all unique, yet we still accept and tolerate each other and celebrate the differences! (kiss on cheek) That's where harmony and peace are made, sweet friend, we may not agree on certain things but I will always love you for who you are, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
