too busy for friendship?
i totally get that people are busy. really, I do! I remember being in graduate school,working one full time job and one part time job and STILL I made time for my family, Greg, and my friends. It seems that many people have forgotten the etiquette of friendship. It is not just when it's convenient for YOU. I always manage to put others in front of myself and make myself available to people, especially when they need me. It's in my genes. I like to help others and be there for them. But, in the past few months it has become more apparent that not everyone is as thoughtful or willing to make time for their "close friends". It sucks. It's part of growing up, I guess.....but it still hurts and is extremely frustrating. But I am thankful for what I have and who I have and as mama says che sera sera. And maybe one day those people will learn and know you cannot just come around when it's ok for you. Friendships are a two way street :)

Very well put... I agree... yet sometimes I find I'm on the wrong side of that story... neglecting people I shouldn't. I definitely need to work on it... sometimes for forget how hurtful simply not doing anything can be to someone else.
*** Also, like I tell everyone, you have a beautiful outlook on life :) I'm happy we are friends
