Friendship is Good Medicine – Janis Van Keuren

A Friendship Candy Bouquet

     Hubby has spent the past week recovering from knee replacement surgery. Our whole focus has been medicine, sutchers, knee exercises, swelling, icing, clicking joints, and all the gore that comes with surgery.
     We’ve had few visitors except the nurse and the physical therapist. And I’m grateful for both of them, their expertise and their understanding. But there’s nothing like friends for making you feel better even if you aren’t.
     Tonight, our good friends brought over pizza, popcorn, and a bowl exploding with candy to lift our spirits and to share a fun movie together. Hubby reclined in his Lazy Boy (no pictures allowed) while we passed around the flowering Red Vines, Milk Duds, Good N Plenty, Dots, Milky Way, and chocolate nuggets. We laughed together through one of our favorite movies, “New in Town.”
     As my friend says, “Laughter is good medicine.” So is friendship.

From My Heart to Yours,

It only took half a second to figure out which is more satisfying – a friendship candy bouquet or friendship itself. No, I’m kidding – it was NO CONTEST!

Friends are the sweetest thing in my life – and you are one of the sweetest friends!

Hope hubby has a quick and uncomplicated recovery!

GOD BLESS!
