What is a friend? I look on Facebook and see people with 500 or more but what does that really mean - do they know all of these people? Have they met face to face? I think that in my mothers day she had all of these friends (maybe not 500!) but they only communicated at Xmas when they exchanged Christmas cards - is online social media the equivalent of old fashioned greeting cards but on a more day to day or week to week basis?
I've had a best friend since I was at school but we rarely ever contact each other now and I'm not exactly sure why. We do live in different countries now and have new lives, she's divorced and I'm finally with someone again but I still feel sad, we don't even bother to Facebook each other anymore. Remember that old saying "friends for a reason, friends for a season"? I looked it up on the net and read the entire thing (it's pretty long) and it made me feel better. I feel less like I lost someone and more grateful for all we had - you know, better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. I'm sounding like a walking quote book now, time to stop but hopefully I have given you a bit of food for thought!
catch you soon
Seasons greeting - I would send a card but ..........
