Friendship

I know, you thought I was done talking tonight didn't you? I've been thinking alot lately about my life. You know I have been thinking alot about my life and taking care of myself and my family. I've also been thinking alot about my friends.

I haven't been a very good friend to some people who are very dear to me. You know who you are. I haven't called you in ages, sometimes I forget to call you back and we'll go weeks without speaking on the phone. And sometimes we'll go months without seeing each other. Please know that this doesn't mean that I don't care about you.

As we grow older I think we look back on our life and we see the mistakes we've made. Hindsight is always 20/20! I don't mean to be a bad friend and I don't mean to be a shitty friend. Life just gets ahold of me and with four busy kids, school, work, a marriage, and a family life time just flies by so quickly. I can't even believe that it's November! I have even lost touch with my friends online. My good friend Beth and Connie, we haven't spoken in forever and I feel terrible about it. I haven't even had time for Facebook lately. I'm so busy posting to the Two Men And A Truck facebook site that I haven't had time to get to my own page.

So, it's a lousy excuse but I do feel bad and I am sorry. I do think of my friends all the time. I can't even remember the last time I hung out with Alice and Sally. We spent so much time together last summer and I didn't see them once this summer. I feel bad about it and I just haven't been a good friend. I'm sorry.

Sometimes things happen that make you take your life into perspective. I haven't had some great realization that I'm a shitty person or anything. I've just been thinking alot about my life and the fact that I'm getting older. I always take things so seriously and I am trying to remind myself to take the time to enjoy life. That includes making time for my friends. I'm sorry I haven't done that lately.
