My kids are big fans of Winnie the Pooh, so much so that they have Pooh-shaped cushions on their beds too. They probably love him because he is a cute bear, adores honey and enjoys partying, singing, dancing and merry-making with his fun group of pals.
Well, I love him too. Not exactly just for those reasons perhaps, but because of the simple little bits and pieces of dialogue that Winnie the Pooh says at times, that end up meaning so much. Read on and you’ll know what I mean.
…which brings me to the crux of the matter, the real reason I started talking about our beloved Pooh in the first place. It’s the first Sunday of August – the International Day of Friendship. Happy Friendship Day!
- Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there someday.
- The things that make me different are the things that make me.
- You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
- Some people care too much. I think it’s called love.
- How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard!
- If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.
- If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever.
