Good friends are really hard to come by...well at least for me. I had a lotof girlfriends while growing up. We all took dance, cheer leading, played softball together. Hung out at one of our houses every day/weekend. It wasn't until high school that I realized we were a click. And if anyone knows me I am not a real clicky kind of girl. I like all kinds of people from all different backgrounds. So during those four years of high school (u know the ones that everyone seems to hold on to) I ventured out from the click and met some really great people and maybe some not so great. I did however become a besty with one and we were inseparable. For 10 long years we were the kind of friends that most people are envious of. Then that came to a screeching holt. Long story short.. I got married/had kids/grew up...she did not. So these past years I have made some friends here and there. But nothing ever really stuck. I consider myself as a very outgoing , happy person to be around. I do know that I come on pretty strong, which some people might call loud/blunt/too the point. So I may have offend a few people along the way..
However... I received a blessing when my family got a new neighbor right next door! It is one of the first times that I have someone that I can be myself completely! We have such a blast together! And the topper is our sons are only a week apart! So we do unplanned lunches/dinners/play dates/and girl outings! We call ourselves weekday friends because we don't bother scrambling around to cleanup and make our houses clean to act like we have it all together all the time! She knocks on my door and I open it, throwing the dozen pair of shoes laying on the floor aside so she can make her way in!
Even though we may be adults/parents/grandparents..we all need at least one good friend.
I have been blessed to have just a few! I am ok with that!
