I know alot of people but only a few that are friends.. And some are the ones that you may see once a year but totally when you catch up seems just like yesterday that you saw them.. And yes people come into your life for a reason and exit for a reason... I decided along time ago to have abit of a friend clean out and just keep the good ones.. Some that were a negative influence had to go!The Essesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02945949779353963213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819822382900769742.post-12825956378606169712010-04-10T07:54:58.100+10:002010-04-10T07:54:58.100+10:00Hi,

We meet so many people over the years, in my case mainly through working for big companies and we become really close but then drift apart.<br />I read something a while ago that said until the modern era, most people would only have 4 or 5 close friends their whole lives. They would only be exposed to a fraction of the number of people we are now. <br />Therefore it stands to reason we can't keep the friends we make for life, we couldn't maintain all those relationships we make. <br />The main thing is to cherish the time you have with them and try and feel lucky to have had it, not regret what isn't there now. (don't know if that made any sense?)<br /><br />cheers<br />Shev<br /><br />ps. there isn't anything wrong with a bit of navel gazing now and then!Shevvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16597474715523695213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819822382900769742.post-35764161684328881882010-04-09T13:45:23.235+10:002010-04-09T13:45:23.235+10:00Hey sweet girlfriend I havnt heard from you for aw...Hey sweet girlfriend I havnt heard from you for awhile so I thought I'd stop by (WOW) I hear ya!!!!!!!!!!<br />I am having my first blog give away and want you to be in it if you'd like.<br />Take good care.<br />Love ya,DebbieBeautifulDeeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02089978018823553799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819822382900769742.post-71097731493774608972010-04-09T12:46:36.159+10:002010-04-09T12:46:36.159+10:00Woow...

Marg, sounds to me, that you have your life all sorted... <br />Yes I believe that friends come into our life for a reason & some just pass through others are there for the long haul & become very precious to our life & some others pass through a few times but are not stayers.<br />I shifted some years ago after living a whole lifetime in one town & found that many of 'who I' thought were close friends turned out to be just mere aquaintances which was a surprise to me at the time but I'm OK with that... that move proved to me who my true friends were... I suppose the only negative thing I got out of it was the feeling of being used by so many for so many years... in the long run that was 'me' who let it happen...<br />Great post...<br />Happy Bloganniversary...Bethel of Bethaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571685467945158535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819822382900769742.post-3456301127632477562010-04-09T10:25:20.509+10:002010-04-09T10:25:20.509+10:00This is such a great post (and not just because I&...This is such a great post (and not just because I'm mentioned in it ! ) <br /><br />I spring cleaned my friends last year. Sometimes you just have to take stock of what's working and what isn't and let some things , and people, go. <br /><br />For me realising that I wasn't feeling the loss of those friendships once I didnt have them anymore confirmed that I'd made the right decision to move on.<br /><br />I feel that opened up other opportunities in my life as well. <br /><br />And HUGE congratulations on your blogaversary!Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.com
