Hi, As the years go by, friends and neighbors mean more and more.
I saw this poem and wanted to share it because it is so true:
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 shows 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 7th grade,
One from high
school,
Several from the college years,
a couple from old jobs,
On some
days your mother,
On some days your grandmother,
On some days your
neighbor,
On others, your sisters,
And on some days, your
daughters.
So whether they've been your friend for 20 minutes or 20
years,
AND ONLY IF YOU'D LIKE TO,
Pass this on to the women that have been
placed in your life
To make a difference.
