Of all the things which wisdom provides to make life entirely happy, much the
greatest is the possession of friendship. One loyal friend is worth ten thousand
relatives. Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and
encourage you to succeed.
Celebrated on the first Sunday in August, its time to recognise your friends and
their contribution to your life. The first Sunday in August was proclaimed
National Friendship Day by the U.S. Congress in 1935, and remains a tradition
observed in many countries and cultures. In 1997, the United Nations named
Winnie the Pooh as the world?s Ambassador of Friendship.
Apparently, there are several friendship holidays, all of which fall on
established dates.
National Friendship Day is on the first Sunday in August
Women?s Friendship Day is on the third Sunday in September
International Friendship Month is February
Old Friends, New Friends Week is the third week of May
People show their appreciation for their friendship in diverse and multiple
ways, some expressions may be tangible ones, such as flowers, particularly the
pink friendship rose, cookies chocolates, souvenirs from their vacations, a tape
of favorite songs, farewell dinners, and welcome balloons.
Recipe for Friendship
2 cups of patience, 1 heart full of love, 2 handfuls of generosity, 2 cups of
loyalty, 1 cup of understanding, A dash of laughter. Mix all ingredients well.
Sprinkle generously over a lifetime and serve everyone you meet.
Friendship helps to bring peace and positivity to the globe, another great
reason to celebrate! Although our friends certainly deserve thanks on more than
just one day in the year, what better day to honor them than Friendship Day!!
