Friends

You know, it is a wonderful thing to have friends.  I look back on my life and I see that from childhood, my closest friends have been women.  I am actually now becoming friends with some males that have no interest in sex either because they are straight or because they want friendship.  This is a wonderful thing.  The biggest things in friendship or any relationship for me is Trust, communication, and Respect.  I expect this of all of my relationships.  I give these things and I get these things.  I realize that some of my friendships and relationships did not or could not contain these elements and I am not friends with those people today.  This doesn't mean that friends don't make mistakes.  When they make a mistake they will come to you with a true heart and make amends bringing these elements back to the relationship.  I don't like putting names on my blog but my friends know who you are and I appreciate and love you.  The whole time I have been writing this, that campy song has been running through my mind so I will put it in yours like a bad catchy commercial.  LOL.

"Thank you for bein' a friend."

The main reason for this post is that if you are neither receiving nor giving these elements of friendship, it is time to reevaluate if the relationship is truly a friendship.  

Give a friend a hug today.  You both will benefit!!
