Friends

What makes a true friend? Someone who is always there for you in happy times and sad ones, tells you when you're acting stupid and even when you don't talk for a long time, you pick up right where you left off next time you're together.
I saw an old friend today. When our girls were small and in school together, we were together all the time too. But life often takes us on different roads and that's what happened to us. She's still right here in town but we don't see each other very often because we're always so busy. But the great thing about her is that I know she loves me even with all my faults and when we're together I can just be me. When we have a chance to visit, it's as if we were never apart. She's like the sister I never had. Hope she knows how much I love her! I guess that means she's my BFF! <3

What's this all about?

Keeping a journal or diary has never been easy for me. I loved the idea of it but remembering to do it daily was a problem. Then I'd feel guilty; procrastinating, thinking I'd make it up the next day only to find that a week had flown by without so much as a word from me! The worst part was that I couldn't remember some of the clever things I'd planned to say about the mundane experiences I'd had that made me...well, me. I think I'm a different person than I was all those years ago...expanding on old interests and learning new ones...teaching my little women and learning from them as well.

That time was longer ago than I care to think about. But the idea of putting down my thoughts where I can find them again has been ruminating lately so I decided to try it again in a newfangled context. What follows are the occasionally profound (said with tongue in cheek), often tedious, possibly interesting wanderings of a thoughtful mind.

Perhaps some of the musings that pass this way will inspire you, touch your heart, or brighten your day. So keep an open mind as you ponder my meanderings.
