Friends

I have been so joyful as of late, feeling blessed by life and it's many intrigues. The reasons why are many: I try to remember to be thankful for the abundance given me. Something was coming over me and I couldn't name it, I believe in naming things.Giving things a name can help one to resolve issues with intent, with no name my intent was unclear. Being a woman of independence I approached the world from an indie sorta way, for example: when I go hang out I like to hang out alone, prefer it. Example: some of us hate dining alone,not me I love it! Walking around town, kicking it in Pike Place Market a walk in the park, whatever I do it is usually alone.  You can go slow or fast,you can stop, talk,tip the street musician, give a compliment, all at your own pace!  Well, of course I can still enjoy my own company, but now I am once again bathing in bliss, hinted in happiness. A friendship once closely valued, has now been reinstated after a decade.
   She is a girl unlike most girls, and she is a woman too, you would be very lucky if  ever got to met her. Sure it may not be everyone's opinion but simply put that is why I love her, she is a true friend in the most essential and necessary ways. Although years passed since we last spent  time together we reconnected with great ease, arriving back to the same place in our hearts.  A place invisible to the naked eye but which becomes visible to the open, bare heart. It is either there or it is not. It is a connection, sparks of warmth that begin to open up like a good wine. Be thankful, I say unto to you, for if you have a real friend you are blessed. And good luck to you at even telling the difference between a real friend and a fair weather friend, spotting the difference can be tricky.
    I truly believe a good friend is detrimental to good health and I urge you to be joyous to your friend(s), and by doing so do not forget to tell them how you really feel! If you find yourself feeling a little lonely or realizing your friends are not the true friends you hoped for  seek out old friends you enjoyed. If that is not an option  go fourth and seek new ones, friends whose outsides reflect there inside. There comes a time in our lives when we loose touch with friends who once touched our lives and we begin to feel so very small in our humungous world- and at these times we all could use a friend who really knows us perhaps even better than we know ourselves. Peace, friends.
