GIRLS IN MY CIRCLE

[brnidokiegurl 0]

Thank you for being my friend........ I need you and your friendship... and know that I am there for you.

GIRLS IN MY CIRCLE

When I was little,

I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,

And then I started to become a woman.

And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up,

Life would show you the best in many friends.

One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man.

Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom.

Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities.

Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be..

One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,'

Another , 'Let's fight together,'

Another , 'Let's walk away together.'

One friend will meet your spiritual need,

Another your shoe fetish,

Another your love for movies,

Another will be with you in your season of confusion,

Another will be your clarifier,

Another the wind beneath your wings.

But whatever their assignment in your life,

On whatever the occasion,

On whatever the day,

Or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back,

Or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself .

Those are your best friends.

It may all be wrapped up in one woman, But for many, it's wrapped up in several..

One from early school years,

One from later school years,

Several from here and there,

A couple from old jobs,

On some days your mother,

On some days your neighbor,

On others, your sisters,

And on some days, your daughters.

Thanks for being in my circle.

If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence,

you can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!

Hmm. I only have two friends. I guess mine is more of a triangle than a circle

[Muh and me 18]

Aw I like that!

My father once told me you are lucky if you can count all your friends on one hand.

now I realize that if I have ONE very true best friend, I am blessed.

They come and they go. Good ones are hard to find. And as you wrote here, friends come in all different ways, from different places, times and experiences in our lives.

I listen to my daughters speak of their friendships the ups and the downs and I try to teach them what it means to be a good friend and that the friends you have now "probably" won't be the same friends you have even a couple years from now.

We do change, we do grow, we evolve..we live and we learn.

I appreciate the care and support I have gotten from my MENA friends here. THANKS
