Friendship...


Friendship is about being there to listen when someone needs to talk.


Friendship is about being able to talk and having someone there to listen.


Friendship is about doing things out of the kindness of your heart and not expecting reciprocity or monetary payment.


Friendship should be unconditional and not about personal gain.


Friendship is about telling the truth regardless of the topic.


Friendship is about support and support can be given in many ways.


Friendship should not be one-sided.


Friendship should be everlasting and not fleeting.


Friendship should not be insincere.


Friendship should not revolve around Facebook.


Treat your friends they way you wish to be treated, otherwise your friends will move on to find real friends that are worthy of their time.  Remember that…

Oh Amen!! Finding and maintaining friends at this age is SOOO difficult. I always feel like I'm doing more of the work to maintain and then I end up resentful.

@Beatriz - thanks for the good vibes.

@Ray - still no snow here in Canada.

@Krystyn - I completely agree. It's the resentment I'm feeling now. Friendship shouldn't take so much work. If it does, it's just not worth it

I've always put effort into my friendships and that has been repaid by so much support through 6 difficult months. I'm now planning a girlie night in as a thank you to them all, it's worth the effort to keep good friends.

Take care.

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
