Gobsmacked I am.  Received a card from a friend the other day.  Not just any old card, but a "Friendship Card".  Completely unexpected and must tell true it brought a massive smile to my face.

I am not a man of many friendships, know loads of people but call few "Friend".  Has always been like that.

From the very first I knew that this friend and I were going to get on well.  Actually, I took a shine to the person but it required a little work on my part to get the person to open up.  It was well worth the effort.

This friend 'knows' MOI.  Everything.  Warts and all.  My friend still likes me.  Gobsmacked I am.  Truth be told, I like him as well.

I had a huge grin when I received he card and no doubt will be thinking of my friend this day and be smiling all day.

Placed the lovely card on the icebox, will see it when I am having my morning coffee.
