Saw this quote over at Christine's blog while I was checking out the Thursday Thirteens:
"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away."
-George Eliot
I long to be that kind of a friend, and to have friends like that, as well. This quote will be tucked away, safe somewhere, to always remember...and you, my friends, I hope you do the same :-)

That is beautiful......and something we all need
That's a beautiful quote! I wonder if I can find an image for it. Or if you can take a photo to match it?
Oh that's a GREAT quote! If only I could find a MAN like that! Actually I did, but it all went to custard ....story of my life.
You are that kind of friend. Nuff said.
Great quote. It is indeed wonderful to have a person in your life with whom you can be completely you and trust that their love for you and understanding of you will cause them to not be alarmed when crazy shit comes forth from your lips.
Wonderful quote! I printed it out. Fondofsnape isn't doing a 13 this week????
I love this quote, too. It makes me warm just reading it!
