FRIENDS...


Well one thing being layedoff has done is give me a lot of time to think. One of the things I have been thinking about is friends that I use to have and wondering what ever happened to them.

  I was sitting here wondering about that becouse today I thought I would call a few friends and do something to get me out of the house. That is when it dawned on me I had noone to call.

I was very upset and started thinking where they all went  I use to have them but couldnt remember what happened. Thats when it hit me that I had been so busy working and getting things around the house done that I didnt have time for them and they all disappeared one by one.

Well with that in mind I started thinking even more  and this is were I am now.  What is really important in life? Is it stuff like a nice house and cars  or is it friends and I discovered that I had made the wrong choices. I should have found time to go fishing or whatever becouse friends are what make life bearable.

Now I know I have a few friends here and its always great to hear from you  but I have lost a few of you even becouse I was to busy to spend the time here. I couldnt spare a few minutes everyday to say hi and let you know how things were going. I hope to change that now but it may be to late for some that I use to talk to .

 But just maybe I will meet new ones and that will help . 

Its kind of funny how you have to stop and look before you find out you messed up  becouse nobody wanted to say anything  they thought they were the only ones that felt that way .

 Well here is to making new freinds and saying hi to all the ones I have been neglecting  and hope you are all having a great day.

Remember you can get by with less money but you cannot get by without friends!!

I've been remiss with a lot of my friends too. We all try to catch up with one another through emails or through facebook, these days...but it's not the same as getting together or even talking on the phone.

While I feel badly about that, I also notice that my friends are in the same boat. Seems that when you're busy working and paying rent or a mortgage, and taking care of kids and spouses and all that, everything is geared towards Monday through Friday. By the time the weekend rolls around, everyone's exhausted and spent and they find all their "free time" now has to go to household chores and other tasks that can't be done during the week. Next thing you know, another Monday is looming ahead, and the weekend (too short to begin with) has gone by faster than one lunch hour at work.

Being laid off, like you, every day is the weekend, and I'm starting to make calls and get back in touch with folks I haven't talked to in a while. Pity it takes not having a job for us to do that, huh?

Yes it is a pity expecially when you find out all your phone numbers are to old and you cant find new ones

Things can be replaced or lived without. People matter.

I have lots of acquaintances and colleagues, and a few people I call close friends. They and family mean the world to me.

Re-connect. It makes life much better...
