Friends for life

When I got ill recently, I realized that I've got friends who really do care and think of me. Some, I don't see very often even. Others whose numbers I don't even bother to save on my phone or write down. It's amazing. It encourages me a great deal, and makes me wanna hit myself for complaining that I'm giving so much and receiving little.

Then there are other people whom I thought my real friends, but I hardly hear a hoot from them. Isn't it strange how relationships go? Just goes to prove that we actually don't know that much (not even if we have a doctorate). Much of life and the way things are are beyond our control, but never beyond God's (THANKFULLY!!!).

I think I'm beginning to be more of a 'solitary' person. Socializing with new people sometimes terrifies me. So, if any of you out there have met me for the first time and really thought I was stuck up or didn't really have a good first impression, have mercy!! It's just me being shy and unwilling to put up that effort to be nice at that time. But I'm nice :) (right????)

Thanks Adeline for the word of encouragement. I know I could count on you. You're a gem.

And now... back to work (sob sob sob...)
