Friends Inspire
I've been thinking about friendship and what it means. I will turn 39 this year and at this point in my life I know of two people who would call me a friend and none who would call me at all. It's so hard to make friends at this age. Sometimes it feels like everyone my age is wrapped up in their children and current social groups. I love my family but I miss having a good friend. I really felt alone when I had to venture to our local mall to find some new undergarments. I felt so isolated and needed someone to take the sting out of being older and not so fashionable. Friends can help you put the world into perspective, make you laugh, care about what you say, inspire you to dream and help you hide the body if necessary. I've tried to make friends with he parents that I've known for the last six years but again I find that small talk is the only thing that ever happens. I will keep hope alive that friendship will still happen but for now I must slay the mall dragons alone.

I just wanted to let you know that I am in the same boat. I always usually go shopping alone and once in a while my sister in law will go with me. Friends are really hard to find for me. I meet people through Girl Scouts and other things, but really not have met anyone I would say is a friend and go places with casually. Usually it's me and my family. Know that after all these years I am still your friend and I wish we lived near each other to take those shopping trips together. Hopefully someday soon we will get to get together :)
:D I had no idea you posted here, thanks Marla! Yes if we lived closer we would go shopping. I think it's really hard to make friends at our age because everyone is so involved in their own family. So next time I'm down in your area we are so going shopping and making fun off all the young girls with wale tails. :P
