I found a little bURSday booklet today that my friend Else from Norway sent me for my birthday.
After having had a tough chat with the shrink this morning, reading through what she wrote gave me another good cry. Some things touched me so deep, that I want to share them here :-)
"If I could give you one thing, I would give you the ability to see yourself as others see you.
Then you could realise what a truly special person you are."
Same goes for you Else - miss you, love you xx
"Friendship is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."
"Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
That's why it's called the present."
"Don't walk in front of me
I may not follow
Don't walk behind me
I may not lead
Just walk beside me
And be my friend"
"If I could catch a rainbow,
I would do it, just for you,
And, share with you, its beauty,
on the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain,
you could call your very own.
A place to find serenity,
a place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles,
and toss them in the sea.
But, all these things, I'm finding,
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain,
or catch a rainbow fair;
but, let me be, what I know best,
A Friend, who's always there."
"In order to get where you want to go,
You first have to leave where you are."
