+.'.+Happy Friendship Day +.'.+

shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
----->>>> H. W. Longfellow

Life without friends means living life in the world of isolation... Friendship is important for many reasons.. Friends not only bring love but also build a comfort zone around us.. Friends remain close through good times and times of crisis.... Friendships enrich our lives....:||

Friendship Day is celebrated to honour the true sprit of friendship. It gives us an opportunity to show our appreciation to friends for their love and care. A few suggestions on how to celebrate Friendship Day and show your friends they are special...;-);-);-)

#... Write a nice card for your friend telling them how much you appreciate their friendship.Spill out ur heart 2 them as though there is no 2morrow. #... Buy or make them a small present - flowers, chocolates, a cake, a dreamcatcher or anything that catches your imagination! Consider leaving the gift anonymously for added intrigue!

#... Hug someone, preferably your friend!
