One of the greatest titles we can have is "old friend."
We never appreciate how important old friends are until we are older.
The problem is we need to start our old friendships when we are young.
We then have to nurture and grow those friendships over our middle age
when a busy life and changing geographies
can cause us to neglect those friends.
Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.
- Grant Fairley

Home is our sanctuary, where we:
relax into being ourselves,
play with our inner child,

grow something,

hang "go away" on the door whenever we want,
clean and tidy often... or never,
launch from and return to,
are truly ourselves.

A loving relationship is one in which
the loved one is free to be himself -

Such a relationship is based upon freedom
and can never grow in a jealous heart.
