Friendship?

Now, I know you all expect me to talk about Thanksgiving. That's on tomorrow's agenda. I need a lot of time for that one.

I just got one of those "Why aren't we friends anymore?" emails in my inbox. Talk about awkward. I don't get it. Why is it, I get blamed when a high school friendship drifts apart? I was told by my parents that college friends were going to be the ones I kept forever, not the ones from high school. I'm sorry that I got busy in college....you know....having a life. I wasn't the only one that let our friendship fall to the wayside. I didn't get phone calls or emails until now, did I? Nope, after not talking for 4 years, this high school friend doesn't want to accept blame for her half of our friendship that didn't work out.

I barely have enough time for my NY friends, hardly any time for my college friends, let alone time for my high school friends. Sorry, that's just how it is.

I leave you humming "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'."

This is the look of a woman on the edge...

Some days are better than others. This day....not so much. Things are piling up and I feel stressed and tired. I don't know if I'm more physically or mentally exhausted. But, as I was sitting here stewing in my bad mood, TK started talking to me. She has a way of making me feel at one with the world. She always gives me a plan of action. That's all I need sometimes. Sweet. Just the sweetest.

It's times like this that I realize how much I count on my friends. Living in a city more than 8 hours away from the closest family member, my friends are my adoptive family. They hold me together at times and don't even realize it. Staci just walked in, and even just that brightened my day a little bit more.

Disappointments will come and go, but I know that my friends are going to be there to pick up the pieces.

Thanks TK. Thank you other friends. And thank you to my family for always being just a phone call away.

I leave you humming "With a Little Help from My Friends."
