Best Friends

It's so great to have dear friendships. Sadly that is something that is easily lost as people get older. Spouses, children, careers, added responsibilities all conspire to distract you from one of the most basic needs—friendships! I find it takes a lot more work to maintain close friendships at 50 then it did in my teens and twenties. Even if I am willing to make the effort and sacrifices to nurture a close friendship finding someone else (who I would want to be friends with in the first place) able to do the same can be very rare.

I hope that I never get to the point where I let other things distract me from relationships. I think they are vital to life, and add so much love, life and color.
