Welcome to these Treasured Quotes from my large collection of Love Quotes and Sayings. Please enjoy these Quotes about Treasured and Love.
I confessed recently to an old friend,
"I realized I was looking at you,
in your visit, through old glasses.
Speaking old words.
Telling old stories.
I realize that in my life I've made so many
physical changes and I need to give my spirit time to catch up."
Time for my spirit to look at my friend
through the new glasses of current life experiences.
Old friends are precious.
They become even more treasured when they are wrapped
in the currentness of life experiences
and not relegated to the past in which they once lived.

find out what the country's customs are,
and refrain from offending against them.
