my stars

so i was sitting here thinking about some of my friends. i was thinking that the mix of people that come and go in our lives is so strange but obviously they have been sent to us for a reason. i have so many wonderful friends and i am truly thankful for that. for all of them. friends on different levels. friends for different reasons. friends for a long time or a short time. the trouble is that in this international lifestyle that i have chosen, friends come and go a lot more than i would like them to. it makes me think of that quote about having all the people we love in the same place at the same time. and its true. i wish i could have you all here. all together. being friends.


anyway, so i went to look for an image to put on this post and this one came up. how perfect is it?! it's exactly what i wanted and needed in this moment. my friends are really important to me and even though i sometimes don't stay in touch as much as i should, i want to tell you that i think of you more than you know.

now this got me thinking. when you hear the word friend, what comes to mind? i think of the friends that i cherish and hold dear to my heart. i think of "friends". that i thought were friends, but it wasn't quite so. then of course, there's the tv show. friends. what about you? what do you think of when you hear the word FRIEND?!
