My world according to Pooh

Recently I had a friend ask me what I want in a relationship. I had to think about what I valued most in this world and how to put it into words. I don't think I did a very good job. And then I was reading Winnie the Pooh...seriously, no comments here. There's a new movie coming out and I was doing research...okay so I just like reading and watching kid movies. They are cool. But I digress and that's a whole other note (named Dragons)

So I've pulled some of the quotes that help to describe what I value and look for in a friendship. Pooh really does know best!

I was walking along looking for somebody and then suddenly I wasn't anymore.

Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.

"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit.
"No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."

"Pooh," said Rabbit kindly, "you haven't any brain."
"I know," said Pooh humbly.

People who don’t think probably don’t have brains;  rather, they have grey fluff that’s blown into their heads by mistake.

Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully.
"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit's clever."
"And he has Brain."
"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain."
There was a long silence.
"I suppose," said Pooh, "that that's why he never understands anything."

Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.

but Piglet is so small that he slips into a pocket, where it is very comfortable to feel him when you are not quite sure whether twice seven is twelve or twenty-two.

Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.

"I don’t feel very much like Pooh today," said Pooh (me).
"There there," said Piglet (C2). "I’ll bring you tea and honey until you do."

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.

And by and by Christopher Robin came to the end of things, and he was silent, and he sat there, looking out over the world, just wishing it wouldn't stop.

"But it isn't easy,' said Pooh. 'Because Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you."

Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon

Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe and stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.

Weeds are flowers too once you get to know 'em

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.

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh," he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw, "I just wanted to be sure of you."”

Some people care too much, I think it's called love.

"How do you spell 'love'?" - Piglet
"You don't spell it...you feel it." - Pooh"
