Another Outlet for My Reality Obsessed Self

I've been thinking a lot about Friends again. I have a bunch.. I am very blessed with a few very very good friends. Someone once told me to keep 3 closest and the secret keepers, and then have your 12 as your circle of still good friends, but you dont have to tell everything to everyone, ya know?



So my 12. it is a weird group. we could never all hang out together - no one even remotely has the same interests. My 12 is in constant change too. some come, some go .



my 3 is really 4 , with two of them living out of this state.



i've learned this concept of keeping 3 and 12, and it really fascinates me and is really starting to work for me. i have struggled with this for a long time, always being a big mouth and being way too transparent.



so, what about you? do you have 3? and do you have 12? what do YOU think about this concept?

I was invited out to lunch today with a random-ish group of girls. I am "friends" with most of them , and great friends with two of them, but all of us together was a different thing. actually it was a powerful thing. i cannot explain it , but i will try.
The LOVE i felt as we shared about this past week at church was almost like a warm blanket covering our table. I hope i dont freak you out with all my visions ( like That's so Raven!) and prophecys. I have a real "heart" for friendships/girlfriends/. I have hurt many people, people have hurt me, it is just in our nature. I always want to right a wrong though- I am a peacemaker of the group- of my extended family too. I am always on the look out for that next friend, not that the ones i have arent enough, but i keep feeling like there is something still to come, or someone or some situation.
A precious one at lunch today reminded me that Jesus had 12 disciples yet he had three that were his best friends. What a concept. What i learned today was that you cannot have 20 friends and pour everything into each and all of them. which is what i try to do. Most of my best friends are far away, in Texas , in Florida, etc...I am not talking about those- Those far away soul sisters are always in my mind, at the drop of a hat, would be here for me. What I crave is the one(s) that can intermingle , no secrets , deep devotion, .... I do have 1 or 2 of these friends already here, but there is more out there for me. maybe it is a deeper relationship with the ones that i already have. >? very quite possibly.

is friendship like a marriage, you think? my grandma says that marriage is so wonderful because you are the most important person in that spouse's life. are friendships like that?

blogfriends are so wonderful. they fill a void too. you are in a class to yourself. isnt it weird that we are best friends yet have never met? i am dying to go to canada and to greece for that exact reason.

ok BABBLE on Gi. sheesh. write me something good. i am going out tonight with a dear friend :) and will be in the bloggin mode when i come home.

I am very blessed. I have a ton of friends. I am sitting here listening to Shaggy (ROFL) Angel... girl , your my angel, my darlin angel, closer than my peeps you are to me.... i love that word peeps. it just sums you all up! My friend Missy , who's baby Gage had a brain tumor in Texas... remember her? well, ever since she had baby #1, she has called her family her "people"... and i stole it about 7 yrs ago. My people. My family. My people . My friends. My people . My blogworld. My peeps.

I have so many friends as i already said. It is very challenging because I feel like I can never have all of my friends together for one occassion. There are way too many personalities... even though i am being "myself" around all of my friends, i have different friends who serve certain roles in my life. some drink, some smoke, some cuss, some do no such thing , some are so pure they make the drinkers and smokers sick, some are flaky and some are needy, most are long distance., some are new, some are my "phone friends" that i talk to daily, some i can just pick right back up with even though i haven't talked to them in days, weeks, months maybe. I am horrible to keep in touch because I have too much going on. I am a terrible friend to have because of this!! It is my goal to get better. Even though i may not call, text, email , send birthday cards, I think about you often. all 154 of you!! ROFL>
