Having someone who isn't in the friendship for their own gain but simply to know you better and to share experinces is a rare find!"<br />Around here, this is how it is. Once they find out I can't give them anything but being a trusting friend, they sometimes bail on me. <br />Also, life is so busy. Sometimes I feel like I put my friends on hold.<br />Oh well, it is what it is. <br />Thanks for the post!!!<br />PS. Running for a year. Training for Disney 1/2. Will start blogging about my training soon. <br />Anita at No Finish Line : )fleming Fab 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/11161532390623581090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-74129138739743448352010-07-24T20:08:21.491-04:002010-07-24T20:08:21.491-04:00I totally agree - however, I have kept very few fr...I totally agree - however, I have kept very few friends, basically because I tell it like it is and folks don't want to hear that.

Tonia, girl, you hit the nail square on the head with this one!!!<br /><br />Sometimes I feel like crap when I think about my waning friendship with one of my lifelong best girlfriends. It's not the dwindling relationship that makes me feel like crap--it's the fact that I don't care that makes me feel like crap. I feel guilty because I feel like I SHOULD care. But I don't. :/Pam @ herbieontherun.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198123992152626641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-48817223444637102402010-07-23T13:34:18.435-04:002010-07-23T13:34:18.435-04:00You have had your fair share of reflection today, ...You have had your fair share of reflection today, T!

I have had a few good female friends over the years and with those few I share a wonderful relationship. Time can pass and it's as if we just talked yesterday. <br /><br />Reaching out to new people is difficult. With the complicated lives we all have it is hard to find people with common intersts that will weather the peripheral life issues that unfortunately effect a growing friendship. <br /><br />True friendship is hard to find. Having someone who isn't in the friendship for their own gain but simply to know you better and to share experinces is a rare find!Shellyrm ~ just a country runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822262051285512641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-82759492357721771812010-07-23T10:59:02.737-04:002010-07-23T10:59:02.737-04:00Couldn't have said it better myself...no reall...Couldn't have said it better myself...no really, I couldn'tfundersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039783989300767491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-6916785783207796022010-07-23T10:31:33.195-04:002010-07-23T10:31:33.195-04:00well said!

I have thought about this alot lately - feeling bad that I've lost some connections. It makes sense that people come into your life at certain times for certain reasons, but that doesn't mean we end up being long time besties. That makes me feel better about my list that 'didn't make the cut' :) So thanks!

And I swear, we are twins seperated at birth!<br />When my 10 year HS reunion happened a few years back, I was kind-of dreading going since I didn't keep in touch with any of them - even my BFF from back then. AND, I went to an all-girl's Catholic HS with girls I had gone to elementary school with for the past 12 years. But I realized that people come and go and that the right ones stay. I often get jealous of the people who are stil friends with elementary or HS peeps, but then realize that I have a ton of friends from later in life who are the true test of friendship and love.<br />I think your girls will have a similiar experience to yours, and you can be sure they will be happy, healthy friends for life :)<br />Have a great weekend!!!!Katie A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05532916063060905892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-31306393267811182502010-07-23T09:38:51.772-04:002010-07-23T09:38:51.772-04:00It's like you are talking about me - EXACTLY! ...It's like you are talking about me - EXACTLY!
