Friendship

I really enjoy the blogs, written and photographic. Thanks for participating!

Lately I've been thinking often about friendships. Everyone needs a few good friends. Maintaining friendships is work and takes frequent attention by e-mail, phone, cards,visits, surprises. Some friends are in our life briefly, while we need them during a difficult time in their life or ours. Other friends are childhood friends, high school friends, college friends etc. and some of them are long time friends through the ups and downs of life. Friends are different than family but both are needed.

I had lunch today with a group of friends I see once a month or less. One woman recently moved back to East Lansing after 30 years or so living in another state. Conversation flowed like we had seen each other yesterday. It was fun. When I see friends after many year's absence in no time at all I remember why I liked them and chose them for a friend in the first place.

I pray that each of you will be blessed with a few good friends along life's path.
