Reflection!!

“This is me,” whispered Pooh to the mirror. “Not the thinnest or the bravest, and certainly not perfect.”

He paused, then smiled softly. “But I am kind, loyal, and full of love—and maybe that’s enough. Being enough isn’t about being the best, it’s about being true—to your friends, your heart, and the simple things that make life sweet.”

“Wishing all the Dads and Grandads a very Happy Father’s Day! Thank you for the love, wisdom, and support you bring to your families.”

So true….

*"Sometimes days feel heavy, and the clouds don’t let the sunshine through. That’s when friends matter most. A friend doesn’t always have the answers, and they don’t always make the sadness disappear. But what they do is far greater—they stay. They sit beside you in the quiet, they hold you when the world feels too big, and they remind you that you don’t have to carry the weight alone.

Pooh squeezed Eeyore a little tighter and whispered, ‘You don’t have to be cheerful all the time to be loved. You don’t have to smile to belong here. You are my friend, and that is enough.’

And in that snowy forest, with nothing more than a hug and a gentle reminder, Eeyore remembered what true friendship feels like: safe, steady, and always there. Because that’s what friends are for."*
