Yes, Faith it IS! We can't always get what we want, or even need, but when we do it makes up for a lot of down (feeling sad) times. I thought every penny spent was bad, it was how I was raised, so I went to the extreme (as usual) and shunned money matters entirely, and still don't ask Him for His help with them. My family has weird and unhealthy relationships with money; my sister wanting it more, and my mother wanting it more and basing assumptions and erm judgments I would say, on it. My reaction is to get RID of it as fast as possible although to be fair I don't make much on disability for where I live.

Beautiful song, I do not know the musical if you can believe that. It's a wonderful feeling helping in a way that MAKES a difference. Blush.

Sorry I did NOT see this entry! (Long story short I deleted my favorite peeps and items because I had them either cross-listed and favorite-ed, or I knew them by heart; but I forgot you won't SEE when a Blog or item has been updated if it isn't in your favorites. Unless you're a fan. Hmmm I could become a fan NEVERMIND).

You have here a beginning my dear... and a great great window to CONNIE which is all you need in a Blog entry. I want more! I like your stories and don't know enough of them. Seriously.

Beautifully said Connie. Ever so much so! Your wisdom's showing again

I spent 10 years without one friend. It sucked. I'm glad when I popped back up in the world, I found you {e:ostrich}

Yes, ~Minja~, it's hard to have seasonal friends.

Hmmm... if we join our emotional walls, we could double the size of the Chinese wall.

When I was a student, I had four bestfriends: two females and two males. The first male and female bestfriends were from the city. The other set were from the province. My male bestfriend in the province died at a very young age while my male bestfriend in the city lived a prodigal son's life. This prodigal bestfriend made me cry for more than a week that everyone thought he was my boyfriend! LOL!

When I reached maturity, I had another set of bestfriends. One from my wacky life. One from a little serious life. One from a truly serious life.

All these best friends knew only just a part of me. No one knew the whole thing about me. It wasn't intentional. It just happened that way. Maybe because of our different environment and philosophy in life.

Now that I am actively involved in the virtual world, I have another bestfriend. It's Whata SpoonStealer. Maybe if I'll sign up to another community, I could have another bestfriend.

I went also through the don't get attached stage. But later on, I freed myself from that thought. I realized that if I always think of what will happen to me when the friendship wilted, I would have missed what I could be receiving on the blossoming period of the relationship. Not easy. But, at least now, I am enjoying every bit of my interaction with new friends, be it seasonal or not.

Thanks for sharing your experience, ~Minja~.

Nice post about friendship.

It's very hard to move around and have seasonal friends only. I'm telling you from my personal experience because I also move a lot. I always tried to not get too attached to anyone while I'm at the ship because I know everyone is leaving but it's very hard to be there alone. First, you're away from home and your family. Second, job is so overwhelming after three months that everyone go officially in crazy mood. That's when you need someone to lean on till the end of the contract and that's also period when you get attached to someone more. And right when you think life is flowers one of you has to go home and you'll probably never gonna see each other again. You even hate to go to crew bar knowing your friends aren't there anymore.

I've built and crashed so many emotional walls in past 5 years that you can build another Chinese wall if you collect them together again. I don't even know if I have strength to do it all over again because I'm so convinced that some people are destinied to receive only seasonal friendship and stuff and it can be draining to constantly move while you just want to stay in one place.

OJ for you. Not even a little! I forget how much you moved around, too. It does make me appreciate being in just one town now

Ah, this was the result of living from one place to another, of transferring to several schools, and living with different families. However strange my life was, something good can be learned.

This is my first time to hear Orange Julius. that smells refreshing, Whata SpoonStealer! We have lots of oranges here. Unfortunately, orange is on the list of the food that I am allergic to. What a crazy health I have!

Lovely! Well said my dear. Reminds me very much of the friends for a season, or friends for a reason. Yet you go farther, because both subsets are good friends to have.

Oh if I only knew this when I was a child! Soon as I'd make a nice friend, I'd move cities and schools. One thing I love about living here, I've grown to count on the seasons and my cats for my friends. Then get online & cone visit with ya'all

Hey, you have Orange Julius there? You have everything else! Refreshing in this heat. Tiny bits of ice, froth, and cherry bits & juice. Whata rare treat! Usually orange.

Well said!

Yup! you are right sis Candy, all the kind of friends that you've said here are the good ones. But remember there are also what they call the bad friends.
