Those friends

There are those friends! The ones that you hardly ever see and truly love - the ones that you know in a pinch would be there first - and would go above and beyond - the ones that love you for you - not the you that others think you are - the real you.

Well, today's blog is for those of you reading this (because you are the only ones that have my blog info).

I must appologise up front for not keeping in touch like I should have. There are no excuses - there are definately reasons - but no excuses. I am vowing today to be a better friends. Why? Becuase YOU deserve it. You are special to me and regardless of the miles that separate us, you are my closest friends.

Sure - I have friends here that I hang out with on a weekly basis, etc. but you are my true friends - the ones that I knew when I was a little less:
A Little less refined
A little less busy
A little less good at hiding my emotions
A little less at making excuses as to why I have not called in over a year - you know who you are - sorry!!!!!!!!
Just a little less self absorbed.

Today is a new day and I am trying to make a change. I am tired of thinking of all of you and not acting on it, so here it is. The reason for this blog is to let you in again. To let you in on my life - its ups and downs twists and turns. My prayer is that you will know me again and we can truly share in eachother's lives even if it is a thousand miles away - cause lets face it - there are only a few people that truly know us anymore and our husbands our one of those, so that leaves not too many others.

Think about it - who knows you that well? Sunday school friends - maybee but not too many.

High school friends - if you are lucky perhaps 1 or so.
College friends - maybee

Kids's friends parents - mostly just for the kids.

See - we have eachother. So lets do it - lets agree to reconnect. To make eachother a prioriry again (even if it is only through this thing called cyberspace - my hops is that it is not just that).

I MISS YOU~!

Ok - off my soap box or whatever that is - I feel like Jerry McGuire - this is not a mission statement! You do not complete me - the Lord does, but you are pretty important - important enough to do this!!!

Thank you for who you are in my life!!!!!! May God bless you and yours today!

Gotta run - Bible study tonight and the kids want to play (and lets be honest - I do too!!!! Hows that for mom of the year - :) JK

Love ya,
Mel
