A friend is one of the nicest things
you can have, and one of the best things
you can be. A friend is a living treasure,
and if you have one, you have one of the
most valuable gifts in life
A friend is the one who will always be
beside you, through all the laughter, and
through each and every tear. A friend
is the one thing you can always rely on;
the someone you can always open up to;
the one wonderful person who always believes
in you in a way that no one else seems to.
A friend is a sanctuary.
A friend is a smile.
A friend is a hand that is always holding
yours, no matter where you are, no matter
how close or far apart you may be.
a friend is someone who is always there
and will always~~always~~care. A friend
is a feeling of forever in the heart.
A friend is the one door that is always
open. A friend is the one to whom you can
give your key. A friend is one of the
nicest things you can have, and one of
the best things you can be.

This so very true. I have reconnected with my best friend from my early 20's. It is so very awesome that at the same time of life that we are both in the same place (not state) that we both want to live our life without the tethers of being in a relationship. That we are both able to be just us once again. I find that I really like the situation of being on my own and only myself to answer to. When her mother passes away ( we are not shoving her over the edge, but she is 83 and has had multiple heart attacks). She will be moving up here to live with me. I think it will be great for both of us. We have always gotten along with no bickering.
I am so looking forward to it. Having been up here going on 18 months now. I have made no friends other than family and the landlord. So it will be a good thing. Also she is a girlie girl like me and I guess we will hang together. I have not found one up here. I am not into the hunting and fishing which leaves me out on the edge. Close family just shakes their heads at me. I stay home to much (according to my brother), I do not get outside enough. But you got to remember that I am still adjusting to the move(yes I know). I have never been an outdoor person in my life. Never!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know the issue of being by myself so much is not conductive for my bipolar depression that I am still finding hard to work through. I had this state of being. I do not sleep well because along with it I have nightmares. Along with other issues that it brings with it. I am not looking forward to the up swing of the manic phase but at least it will be a change from the other. And then I am hoping it will get leveled out.
It is so hard being around people who think that owning my 5 little parrots is an imposition on me financially. That I should get rid of them. What people do not realize is that to lose my parrots is like losing a child. I pointed out that it would be the same if she lost the ability to go hunting. My parrots are not throw aways they are companions for life, and most of them if not all of them will outlive me. But I hope to have a good long life. My granny was around 99 at best count we had. My dad died at 85, his brother is still living and in his mid to late 90's. Of course the thing worrying me is mom passed at 68, her mom at 68. So I am nervous of passing that milestone.
The weather here has finally taken a turn for the best. I am able to have the doors and windows openned up to air out the place. I want to take it as far as I can without turning on the ac.
I better quit rambling and start doing housework.
