I don't know if it's because I am getting older, but I used to have tons of friends. Now though I realized that I only communicate with a small number of them anymore. That is so strange to me because I would like to think of myself of a people person. Is it just me??? I don't know if its just that my time is spent differently now that I am invloved and have children or if its just age. I'm not eager to go out to meet new people anymore like I used to either. God I hope that I'm not turning into my mother!!! I mean look poeple aren't running up to meet me either. I guess because in this fast pace we call the daily grind, people are too busy to really take the time. I wish that I wasn't guilty of this myself, but its true. It's kinda scary meeting new people. You don't know who really to trust and everybody has their issues! Still, when you meet that great person it will all be worth it right??? I aam going to promise myself to try to be more open to new friendships.............WHAT ABOUT YOU????

In my former job I met new people everyday. I befriended a few. But, the amount of time I have to put into nurturing a new friendship is limited. It seems that family issues keep me busy enough. Now, mind you, my children are grown and out of the house. I have 6 grandkids. I will be 50 this summer, I should be spending more time for me. But, I have always been the type to do more for others than for myself. You are right, it is time to meet and great. Huggers to you.
