friends

In the last couple of days I have really enjoyed catching up with some good friends over the phone. I am really thankful for these 2 women in my life and they show me what good friends are. As a person who has traveled so much since graduating high school, friendships come and go and especially now as I am older good friendships seem harder to come by. I don't know why our world has become like this, but this is probably the hardest thing about moving around.
It was comforting to talk with my one friend today and realize that we experience many of the same things. I know that the difficulty in building friendships isn't me, but is how things are these days. It's so unfortunate and sad, especially that it remains just as difficult or maybe more difficult in Christians circles to build friendships. But, one thing, is that I am so thankful for the friends that I have, as far away as many of them may be. They are my friends and I love them a lot. So, thank you for your friendships. And thank you to the 2 women who I just talked to, I really appreciated our conversations.
