JOY of friendship.

JOY of friendship is a blessing. It can be found in many things.

    So simple is this blessing that if your eyes aren’t open its blessing may remain unseen.

JOY in a smile.

JOY in the touch of a hand.

JOY of being accepted as you are.

JOY of exchange of love with a wink or a nod of a head.

    When all other forms of communication have disappeared with the challenges of life.
