Blessed Friends

It actually should read Blessed with Friends.

MDub (and some recent events) got me thinking.....I have a great circle of friends.

• Some friends are family.
• Some family are friends.
• Some are long-time friends.
• Some are just old :o)
• Some I used to be "tight" with and, though I may no longer be as close to them, I still like to keep in touch.
• Some have fallen by the wayside.
• Some are new.
• Some are second generation friends
• Some are tall, some short, thin, fat, funny, bossy, smart, good listeners, good talkers, have good advice, need advice, good for fun stuff, good for serious stuff. All the time, part of the time, in turn.

But all are treasured.

I read something years ago about women and friends that has stuck with me. It talked about how women think that a friendship should be sustained at the same level all their lives. But, in reality, friends come and go, ebb and flow, with the circumstances in your life. Friendships can be intense and short-lived, steady and long-lasting, or anywhere in between. But they are always of value.
