FRIENDS - October 2007

I am a blessed woman.
I have a roof over my head.
I have a job.
I have a car to get me back and forth to my job.
I have a spouse.
I have two sons, aged 10 and 9.
I have a daughter, age 4.

I have friends.

I have online friends. They are great because I can always find a sympathetic ear, or someone who can tell me like it is. They are wonderful and accepting, uninhibited with the freedom afforded by the Internet. One really great thing is that they are from ALL OVER THE WORLD, and usually someone is awake, no matter WHAT time of day it is here! *lol*

I have offline friends. They are great too, for a lot of the same reasons as my online buddies. I can also shake their hands, give and receive physical hugs and go out to midnight bingo with them.

I could do without the roof (ok, maybe not now that winter is on the way). I could do without the car (there's a little store, a bank and a post office down the street...AND there are two computers in my house that are WIRED!).

But do without my family and friends? I DON'T THINK SO!

My single best piece of friendship advice for the month (I wish I could claim it as my own)? To have good friends - BE a good friend!
