Christmas ornaments in mosaic and glitter, covid shutdown, embracing new friends, friends are treasure, mosaic studio, new friends are gifts, Thanks heaven for friends
“The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.” ―
(written yesterday)
Today I woke up feeling so grateful – even more than usual. Today, I am especially grateful for friends. It is said that if a man has friends he is rich. In that case, I am a billionaire. Not in the amount of friends, but in the quality of my friends.
I am grateful for old trusted friends, but today I feel specially blessed for the new friends that the Universe surprises me with.
Some people appear out of nowhere. They are gifts. All of a sudden they are standing by the door to your heart. You welcome them and they fit right in, as if they belonged there all along.
They come bearing acceptance, promise, possibilities and so much love.
“There’s not a word yet, for old friends who’ve just met.” ―
Friends are lighthouses. They represent guidance and safety just by being there. No matter how far apart they are or how long in between conversations, they know you are there, and you know they are here.
A friend claps when you win. A friend cries when you lose.
Above all, a friend inspires. New friends wake you up to new potential. They see you in a brand new light. The see the “you” that you don’t see in yourself yet.
New friends are hidden gems, buried treasures, winning tickets, unnamed stars.
Thank you K (N), my sweet, darling Canadian friend, for coming into my life and breathing new air into it.

Monica at https://brilliantviewpoint.com/2020/12/16/a-christmas-surprise-at-the-mailbox, suggested I make mosaic ornaments. By chance I had done them last Saturday.
I am posting them here unfinished. Glitter is missing in a lot areas – I couldn’t tell until they dried. I also need to Dremel the sharp edges. I can’t finish them at the studio because the studio is closed until further notice. Thank you covid! 🙁
“Friendship … is born at the moment when one man says to another “What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .” ―
“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.” ―
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”

This is such an uplifting post — your friendship is a gift for me. Also, your ornaments are spectacular. Have you ever thought of selling on Etsy? Just a thought! xo
Thank you so much! same for me ♥♥
I never really though about selling anything, but it would be great to become good enough for that 🙂

You are really onto something here with these tree ornaments. They are lovely, earthy, with vitality. Good luck with this new direction.
HI Birdie,
Thank you so much for the compliment and good wishes!
Wishing you a blessed weekend! ♥
Lovely jewels throughout your post today. I have been blessed with friends, friends who have been even more true than some family. I believe that friendship comes to those who have the quality of being a true friend themselves – a true friend doesn’t ask if you need anything, they show up with a casserole (or chocolate) hugs my friend. – David
Hi David
Thank you so much! Indeed some friends are so much more than family. We got to choose each other and that is special.
For the record, when you show up, I choose chocolate 🙂
Wishing you many blessings this week! ♥♥
