If it had been limited to the first 10 years I don't know who I would have had be my maid of honor.<BR/><BR/>Skeeter- You're right, friendship is a two way street. If people don't care enough to keep in touch I don't keep in touch with them either.<BR/><BR/>Anna- You mean I'm going to be even busier than I am now? I didn't know that would even be possible! I only have time for friends when the kids are otherwise occupied. I guess my friends were the kids' friend's moms in Big Lake. <BR/><BR/>We had the day off together today though.<BR/><BR/>Kathi- Yes, I suppose friends are more a want than a need.<BR/><BR/>Kathleen- It's always good when we can get something good out of something we may have considered bad.<BR/><BR/>PG- You've got that right. Friends can be made wherever you live anyway. At least now there are computers, email, and blogging to help us keep in touch with the friends we had to leave behind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-84157381467705765722008-11-03T09:44:00.000-06:002008-11-03T09:44:00.000-06:00We moved a few times when I was growing up too Cin...We moved a few times when I was growing up too Cinj. And then I married a military man & we continued to say goodbye to friends over the year. It's good to count your blessings at this time of the year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-58514025538482571062008-11-03T09:38:00.000-06:002008-11-03T09:38:00.000-06:00I moved around a lot growing up too Cinj and I hat...I moved around a lot growing up too Cinj and I hated it. But I think (looking back) it was good for me because I used to be really shy and it made me come out of my shell. Now I have a fairly easy time making friends and I thank my childhood experiences for that.

Some are good, some are not. I have learned as I've gotten older I don't "need" friends but I do "need" Jesus :)<BR/><BR/>Have a blessed Munday,<BR/>Kathi :)Kathi~Lavender, Lace and Thymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08782261786291024562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-16111187879590044482008-11-02T23:20:00.000-06:002008-11-02T23:20:00.000-06:00I never had a lot of time for many friendships.

I loved chit chatting with the other moms and that was enough for me. I expect it will be the same when my grandkids come along.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-26015563255512654162008-11-02T19:00:00.000-06:002008-11-02T19:00:00.000-06:00I was a shy child also Cinj so I am glad my family...I was a shy child also Cinj so I am glad my family stayed in the same place during my childhood. As a matter of fact, I am the only one of my family which has moved from home. I have lived in many different places and even another country since leaving home 20 years ago. Luckily, I grew out of my shell and believe it or not, I give credit to leaving home and forcing me to crawl out of that shell. I bet if I had stayed home that I would still be shy today. Strange but I do think that so in a way, I am glad I left home but do wish I could get back there now but no job for my hubby there for now anyway. Maybe some day, but until then, I will keep making friends where ever we go... <BR/><BR/>Making friends is easy for us but keeping them once we move away is not easy. I do the best on my part but they seem to fizzle out on the communication department. I dont believe in one way friendships so I let them fizzle out if that is what they want... Life is too short to keep trying when no one is giving back.... :(Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-8180395388375227142008-11-02T16:05:00.000-06:002008-11-02T16:05:00.000-06:00I have moved around a bit as well though compared ...I have moved around a bit as well though compared to you I'm an amateur ;-)<BR/><BR/>But something I have been thinking about lately is the popular belief that the best friends are the ones you have known from early childhood. "No friends like (very) old friends." Why should that necessary be true? I preffer to think I'm able to make friends even today and that the capacity of forming true friendships isn't something that disappears at the age of ten. <BR/>/LinnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
