Friend
My friends have come out of the woodwork this week to help out after my fall. I have awesome friends both locally and in the more global online world. One thing about blogging is that no matter what the hour of the day or night, you can always feel in touch with somebody. When I wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep, I know I can reach out and connect with a fellow blogger. Reading about what's going on with somebody else, getting a chuckle or guffaw, being inspired by some nuggets of wisdom or reading a response to something you wrote makes you remember how connected you are in the world. And that's what having friends is all about. To connect to other people is to be alive.
I can think of no better way to say "Thank You!" than to share an oldie, but goody.
Love to you all!
Now, please share the love and check out the other Theme Thursday participants by clicking on this link:

Ah, perfect Beatles song for today! Hope you're feeling better, dear bloggy friend!
That is so true!! I love this post!
When you wake up in the middle of the night, you reach out and connect with a fellow blogger?
Your husband doesn't mind these people sitting in your bed?
Cool.
i do hope you are doing better...its great to have such friends when you are not...and thanks for the song...a bright spot of the morning. happy tt!
Great song selection! Please get well soon... so you can resume your Salsa Dancing Lessons! Happy TT!
I loved starting the day here in CA with John, Paul, George and Ringo. Thanks!
Love the Beatles, by the way. My Silver Fox blog and my little-visited "You Learn Something New Every Day (Almost)" blog have both had Beatle entries recently.
Bloggy friends can be such a blessing! And I thank you too for the gift of the Beatles.
So glad you have friends to tend to you! Thanks for posting this song...haven't heard it in quite a while and it is perfect for today's theme!
I will be singing this for the rest of the day now...and by sing I mean making everyone's ears bleed...lol!
The Blogging community os the best-- 24/7, someone is always "home".
Thanks for the great song.
Happy holidays,
jj
Willow: It just popped into my head! Thanks for the good wishes!
Lee: True, indeed... always good to hear from you!
Moooooog: My ex-husband couldn't care less... he's gettin' all the lovin' he needs from his newer, younger, improved spouse.
Brian: Happy TT right back at you, my friend!
Skip: I always wanted to learn salsa dancing! It would make me appear so much more exotic.
Janice: It's always good to start your day with the Beatles. Hope your weather is sunnier than ours. (But, of course it is! That's why you live in California!)
Silver Fox: Thanks for stopping by! I'll be sure to check out your "You Learn Something New Every Day (Almost)" blog!
Leah: The Beatles are always a wonderful gift!
Betsy: My friends are the best... both the real and virtual kinds!
Bird Shit & Baby Caca: So, which one of you is the songstress?
Joanna: Good to "see" you, Joanna!
i am seeing beatles wherever i go lately...and i haven't even had a drop! Happy TT
Great song and hope all your friends are helping you get by!
Hello Catlady,
Sorry to read of your fall, and I love the song...I'm glad we all help you get by. I do hope you are feeling better. Happy Thursday!
So good to have friends when times are rough...glad you had the help of good friends!
Fall? I need to read backwards....
Yes there is something very comforting about blogging and knowing that there are friends out there. Happy TT.
It's true that "friends become our chosen family." I'm glad your were there for you and hope you're well on the mend soon.
Oh yes, that is a goody! -jayne
Gotta love those Beatles.
I LUV my bloggy friends, too!
Get well soon, bloggy friend!
That song is stuck in my head!! Love it!!
So sorry Cat I tend to only visit after Theme Thursday. I didn't know you'd had a fall. Hope all is OK. Posting about friends was really hard this week so I took the safe option. Plus it tied in nicely with my daughter's birthday but I can't tell you how much I value my bloggers. They're there at all hours, we chat, we email, we support each other, we laugh with each other and we worry when we're absent for long periods. It's a fantastic community of the best friends I've never met.
The Beatles are wicked. My 3 year old daughter loves the yellow submarine, I remember growing up with that movie too.
You wake up in the middle of the night? How lucky for you! I've reached the point where I don't think I ever actually fall asleep. In fact, the only time I get any good shuteye anymore is when I'm driving. And that's just not safe, is it?
Okay, caught up now (intrusion of real life occasioned absence from rather more enjoyable blog world). Sorry to hear about your fall, sounds ghastly and very painful, but glad you have friends close by to help out. Take care.
How did I miss this???
I am there for you anytime!!
Love this. One of my favorite oldies and goodies from my favorite Old Hippie Days band, and from a new blogger friend! What could be better?

We all need a little help from our friends at one time or another. It's awesome that you have so many that can lift your spirits both off and online.
Hope you are feeling better today!!!
Thanks, my bloggy family & friends for all the good wishes!
That's the first time I've heard of someone going for a trip...without going anywhere. Hope that leg mends soon CL. Take care.
Look at all your friends! Hope you recover--if not quickly, at least fully.
Best,
Ann
Being it is 5:30 a.m. when posting this comment, I completely relate to your post.
Hope you're feeling better.
Dufus: As they say, "Have a nice trip, see you next fall!"
Ann: Thanks for checking in.
Ms. Blogger: It's nice there's always someone to connect with at 5:30 a.m.
I have an award for you over at my place! (Hope you're feeling better.)
Wait, I don't visit you for a week, and you go and fall down the stairs? I loved the pic of your "evil" house. Reminds me of a Simpsons episode...
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
CatLady, my friend:
I have been
A: No earthly good to you
B: Thinking about you for days, and sending you get well vibes.
C: Both A and B
Your house needs to be spoken to sternly.
I forgot to say before - I tagged you over here.
How are you getting by with PT and work?
I hope I'm your friend!
