The old Kid Rock song reminds me of Sundays -
Not for the "God knows why" reference,
But because I have fond memories of some friends -
and that song that all tie into Sunday Road trips.
Funny, back then I thought those friends
-That I was out whooping it up with -
Would still be my friends today.
Been a long while since I even seen them ...
After years of friends coming and going,
I guess I should be used to it by now.
I've come to expect Internet friends to
Suddenly depart and disappear without a trace ...
But funny if you reflect back -
to those who once were so close
to your heart in the years gone bye -
How only a select few still remain there!
Environment can cause it ...
Being what happens to either or all.
New friends
Work Place
Marriage/Relationships
Geographic in others ...
Being the distance,
either physical
or
mental distance.
Circumstance is usually the culprit ...
You know that there's no way to explain those!
I think most of MY RL friends moved on,
weather it was geographically,
Moved away
or
developmentally
(they still drink - as I developed into a non-drinker)
In all the cases, I feel no remorse for the time we shared.
I cherish it!
I also know that almost 90% of them could not be rekindled.
It's awarding to have someone touch your life & leave a fingerprint
Of themselves and the times shared ...
As the song alludes to ... Only god knows why?
Why they are not there -or- being there only briefly.
I generally learn something from everyone of my past friendships.
One being a wise old neighbor man/mentor from my youth,
He said to me:
"You'll be lucky if you ever have to use two hands to count your real friends"
Of course in my youth and having a bus load
of "friends" I thought the old codger was
kinda wayyyyyy off base ...
Now in my experienced years and hardly remembering
any of that "bus load" ... I understand.
About Today's Greeting:
Let me say that I HATED it!
I didn't like the final thing at ALL ...
And if it wasn't for my obsession to use everyone of
My creation - I'd have scraped it ...
To think of the better ones that a computer glitch has lost,
Yet - that one somehow made it to a posting!!!
lol
If anything looks familiar about it,
it's probably the clouds -
One of the first graphic I learned how to make
Is clouds (ahem - for my angel creations)
If you ever see today's comment again -
Believe me, it will be retool & look a HECK of a lot better!
My question
Tell me about your best RL friend - Has it been ___ years?
