Has it ever occured to you the different natures of your friendships? If you are lucky, you have a few friends that you have known from birth. Maybe you have siblings and cousins that also are your friends, or the girl next door, or the boy from kindergarden.
Have you thought about why your friends are there?
Some friends happen to enter your life just in the right time. Exactly when you need help and are struggelig with something... The right person appears, stands by you and supports you - and then disappears from your life again after.
Other friends are there for a season - Like maybe a colleague you could talk to about anything, but after you got a new job, you just didn't manage to keep in touch.
And then there are friends that are there for a lifetime. These are your true soulmates, the ones you feel safe and natural with, even after years apart from each other. I am lucky to have a few of these... and I thank God for the blessings that they truly are.
Remember to keep in touch with your friends! Send them a message or a postcard once in a while. They deserve it, and so do you.

Funny how similar things happen at the same time. I was just telling a friend about the reason, season, or lifetime relationships we all experience and *voila* you have a blog entry on it.
If you open yourself up to receive the energy around you, it's surprising what we discover ;)
