Out of all of the things that were going through my mind that I wanted to write about one thing kept sticking in the front of them all. How do you know that your friend is truly your friend or if they are just using you for something? How do you know if their concerns for you are truly a concern or if its because they want to get to closer to you to get something from you?
Being in the position I am in with certain organizations I can't help but wonder if some people are my friends because of my title. I would like to think that they are all my friends BUT their actions speak differently. I crave deep true friendship with good people but it is so hard to find. Either you are too busy to do friend things or you aren't in the same spot in life that they are in or you don't have things in common or they are really just not there to be your friend.
I want so badly for "my friends" to call me up and just want to visit with me about life or go to lunch or hang out sometime but all to often people call me up because they need something from me.
How do you take a stand against "friends" like that without hurting them or acting like a fool?

some times I think it means more that your friends are your friends despite the fact that you're at different points in your life. We are all crazy busy these days but we still manage to take the time to bond together. Yes we get together in support of a cause ( be it PTA or some thing else) but we still value each other's company.
You know that you are one of my best friends. I have missed our lunches together and our several times a week Starbucks runs. 1 more week..wowohooo..Love ya
Friends thru thick and thin. Need I say more? :-)
