friendship & focus

i have been very fortunate in my life. i have some good friends, not many. a handful. i have two very dear friends who live down the road from me, and i have two other very dear friends who live the opposite side of the ocean from me! it just happened... i don't make friends very easily, in fact i find it very hard to make friends. real friends but when it clicks, it's friends forever. but the interesting thing is all my dear friends are women, oh yes i have a good guy friend. when i first met him, i put him down as frivolous and party animal and as time passed, i discovered he's an amazing grandson who looks after his 96 yr old grandmother. that's when my impression of him totally changed. i have another guy friend whom i thought would be a good friend but as it turns out, we are as different as chalk and cheese. i guess i always wished i have a close brother whom i can relate to. i think the most important guy friends i have and i would like to have is my dear son and my husband.

this evening i was feeling very lousy, u know being off the raw food bandwagon, and being so overwhelmed by so many things. i had a chat with my two dear friends across the globe. sometimes just talking/chatting makes me feel so much better. the interesting thing is both of them are born in the year of the dog! i'm born in the year of the horse and dogs are supposed to be their best friends. of course when they started hearing my ranting, they are such amazing intelligent women, they just tell me what i should do! at the back of my mind i know what i should do, but sometimes you need people to knock senses into your head!

i always thought that as one grows older, its more difficult to make new friends, never mind friends that will become treasures... i am so glad i found some treasures. thank you, gals. you know who you are.
