FRIENDS

It has always intrigued me that some people enter my life and continue to be involved in one way or another for life and others just leave as quickly as they enter. I have some friends who have been around since elementary or middle school. Though we don't see each other every day we still talk and connect from time to time. I have some friends who have been around for years and I am very close too. Then there are some people over the years who have entered my life and were very close to me for a period of time and then without notice were gone. This has always made me sad to think you share your life with someone and then one day it was as though they never even existed.

Friends- share common interest, enjoy spending time together, have something to give and take from one another, help make the other person's just a little bit happier.

You never know who will become your friend and what capacity they will be. As we go through our day we encounter thousands of people and randomly we only truly make connections with a tiny fraction of those people. You can share a conversation with someone while waiting in the grocery line and that may be the only time you see each other. You may visit with someone during work every day but never see each other outside of that common environment. Then there are those people who after the first conversation you know there is something special and you continue to spend time together. Interesting how some are aquaintances and others you completely click with. My mom once told me sometimes people are in our lives forever and other times people just enter to help us through a time in our life. Who knows why some people stay and others go.

I want to say thank you to all of my friends! New and old I enjoy every minute of our time together. Life is really wonderful right now!
