FRIENDS Lifelong bonds with childhood friends are wonderful, but not always possible in this day and age. I have found that those friendships have taken a back seat for me because of my family, job, and a few moves through the years. Friendlessness makes one feel inadequate at times and that leads other issues in our lives and in our health. It's difficult when we get older make new friends. We fear rejection. We fear being taken advantage of, and I could go on and on. Asking a new acquantaince go for coffee or lunch has it's draw backs too. Will they think I'm hitting on them lol Some vulnerability is required for friendship. We must trust and open up a little I feel to build friendships. Friends help to keep our minds active, keep us young, and can make us laugh. To me friends are like taking vitamins. Remember the saying " have good friend one must be a good friend." |

PinkLady, your Mom must have been a Girl Scout! That was something we always sang. I still occasionally sing it and have taught it to my girls and granddaughters.

That reminds me of a song several years back------Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold by Dan Seals.

I find friendships very easy to form but have to be very careful who I form them with. Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.

Nurture your friendships...I can see it in your face, you are so worth knowing. You have a gift, and it radiates. People like you matter.

I ALWAYS SAY THE THE NUMBER OF REAL FRIENDS, THE ONES WE HAVE FOR MANY MANY YEARS CAN BE COUNTED ON THE FINGERS OF ONE HAND. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY, SO FAR ONLY ONE OF THOSE HAS PASSED AWAY BUT NUMEROUS ACQUAINTANCES ARE GONE. KEEPING BUSY AND BEING WITH PEOPLE IS GREAT BUT DOES NOT OFTEN LEAD TO SERIOUS TIES. NOT ANY MORE. THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH OLD AGE, LOTS OF FUNERALS AND VERY FEW WEDDINGS.

I make every effort to be nice to everyone I meet but A stranger in most cases is a friend I have not met. . The beginning of life, conception..

When I moved to the coast way back when I made a lot of new friends. I was lucky yo move into a building where there were a lot of friendly people. The one draw back of that was everybody wanted to do everything together as a group. I found at times it was hard to escape somewhere on my own. Now I have a few select friends that go out to meals with and that suits me fine. Now with the Pandemic on the rampage there is no socializing and I live a pretty solitary life. But hopefully that will all soon pass.

Suezen the old hang ups about a lady seeking a guy out as a friend went out the window long ago. In the 80s If you see someone you might want to know walk up and tell him about it. That is the easiest way to start a conversation. Any guy will appreciate it. If not he is not one worth knowing anyway.
