| Enjoying a Swiss Cheese Fondue with Kathrin, a kindred spirit :) |
I'll be chattering on about a new friend and sometimes I can only sum it up with, Oh honey, it just feels like she's . . . He gives me that teasing grin before I even finish the sentence because he knows what I'm about to say. . . . a kindred spirit.
Why does he snicker? Because kindred reminds him of bosom friends, Anne and Diana, from the story of Anne of Green Gables. I remember when my girls and I watched the movie and sequels through a winter season.
You know, Diana, kindred spirits aren't as scarce as I used to think. Anne's incessant talking drove Dennis crazy!
But, sometimes there is just no other word to describe a friendship.
Kindred spirit: Like-minded, in harmony, in tune, akin, similar, compatible, on the same wavelength. Someone who feels and thinks the way you do.
So, in spite of Dennis' snickers, it will continue to be the way I express such a find in a friend. I am thankful for the kindred spirits I have found along life's way. Kathrin is one of them. She doesn't talk like Anne, but she does have a beautiful Swiss accent!
And, yes, I agree with Anne Shirley. Kindred spirits aren't as scarce as I used to think.

Kindred spirits are the best kind of friends. So happy for you that you have found a new one. What a blessing. {Oh do I love Anne Shirley, too.}
We are in the process of listening to Anne of the Island with Sabina :). She loves it as much as I do! -Sarah
I love this definition of kindred: "Like-minded, in harmony, in tune, akin, similar, compatible, on the same wavelength. Someone who feels and thinks the way you do."
I feel lucky to have one such person.
Dear Gwen this is so special for me to read :) I dont no if I exactly understand what it means "kindred spirits" but I
think I understand it with my heart and I love it! You are the same for me, Gwen!!!!
Gwen, I love everything about this post. :) Thanks for sharing... and describing in a way that makes me picture it all... even down to Dennis' grin and snicker. Hope you are both doing well.
"Kindred spirits aren't as scarce as I used to think." Love it.
