Friends

    Have you ever wondered about your friends list on facebook?  I mean really look at it and see who you have and who you don’t on your list.  I did this recently and realized after getting rid of about 900 people I looked who was left. 

     Over 1000 people I consider friends of mine or have something in common with me to let them be on my friends list.  A lot were military, High school, some acquaintances I have met through the years but I laughed when I looked at my revised list.  Yes for some reason or not there are over 1000 people who have touched my life one way or the other.  I refer back to my high school friends a lot and it is truly an honor to know each one of them.  I think of Lori, TB, Kelly, Mendy and the list goes on and on, what a great group

      I look at some of the names and remember why I considered them my friend to begin with.  Weather they have been in a foreign country with me, doing silly stuff, or in a close call these are people who have touched my life in one way or the other. They stick by you when you need support, are there during your triumphs and defeats and kick you in the backside when you need it the most.  Yes these are friends!  Sure we have family as members but let’s face it, they have touched your lives either good or bad.  I look at my cousins (Not in a creepy way) and remember all the good times we had when I visited in the summers.  I have shared laughs, cries and secrets with my friends and it is amazing to me how we cannot see each other for years and when we do pick up where we left off. 

     Definition of a friend is a person you know, like, trust, or an acquaintance, one who is allied in a struggle or cause.  I certainly know all 1000 friends, trust them and certainly like them, if I didn’t they would not be on my friends list.  Until next time!
