In the past, being a single Blogger on Valentines Day made creating content on your blog and social media slightly more difficult than if you had a partner who you could write about or share the day with. Now, though? There are so many versions of the day where people are starting to acknowledge the importance best-friends (or even friends and colleagues) can have on a person and why that makes it completely reasonable to show your love and gratitude to them on Valentine’s Day.
So, here I am taking this opportunity to show my love for my best-friends…
Lauren, because of her way of making everything into something aesthetically pleasing:
“Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world”
Hillary Clinton
For Georgie, for her difficult days at work:
“Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn”
Harriet Beecher-Stowe
Lauren and I on our wild nights out:
“You
grow up the day you have the first real laugh at yourself”
Ethel Barrymore
Ellie after she moved with my Godchildren and her Husband to Edinburgh:
“Wherever we are, it is our friends that make our world”
Henry Drummond
For my fellow Blogger and Author; Marty:
“Some
souls just understand each other upon meeting”
N. R. Hart
Because sometimes Georgie forgets (and she loves Harry Potter):
“Be strong, love and believe in yourself”
Emma
Watson
When Lauren moved to Coldstream:
“The
most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately
without growing apart”
Elisabeth
Foley
Because Marty and I have those exact occasional ‘silent’ moments:
“True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable”
David Tyson Gentry
Because I’ve called Marty after four on an early morning:
“It’s
the friends you can call up at 4am that matter”
Marlene Dietrich
For when Ellie forgets this:
“You have what it takes to be a victorious, independent, fearless woman”
Tyra Banks
Because Ellie, Lauren, and Georgie are incredibly clever:
“Girls should never be afraid to be smart”
Emma
Watson
For all four of them:
“True friends are those who really know you but love you anyway”
Edna Buchanan
