You've got a friend

Remember there's this song from Cat Steven who eventually changed his name to Yussuf Islam ? there is just one song that so synonymous with him as far as i am concerned is this song "You've got a friend" and one part of the song that i really like is this "winter,spring,summer or fall, all you have to do is call, and you know i'll be right there for you, you've got a friend"

I am blessed because i have friends who care, and now i am even blessed because i have some cyber friends (i shall call them bloggie as of buddy) who care too. As i was chatting briefly online with one bloggie who has been so helpful and patient to share her knowledge with me as far as making some money from blogging is concerned, she even went to the extent teaching me on how to register in certain websites, and she was like practically teaching me from A to Z, and she would ever so willing to share with me if she has found new ways of making money on line, and i am thankful for her effort.(name withheld, dont want her to be hassled.)

The reason i love blogging so much is that it gives me the sense of worthiness,knowing that there are in fact friends out there that can be found and cherished.

I hope one day when i lay down motionless, and when my time is up on this earth, there is only one thing i would like to see in the eulogy for me from my friends is simply this "There Lies a Good Friend of Mine"

P/S: Have you ever tried, really reaching out for the other guy ?

  2. "When u're down and troubled.. and u need some loving care.. and nothing.. nothing is going right.. close your eyes and think of me, and soon i will be there.. to take away even the darkest night..."
    (hey..I believe this song is more or less about God too..)

  7. Not sure if Cat Stevens aka Yusuf Islam sang this song but it was a hit for James Taylor, even though Carole King wrote it and she recorded it in her Tapestry album which was a huge success too. Yes, what is life...without friends? I am thankful that I am blessed with many, and through blogging, the number keeps increasing...
