Friends....today that is going to be my focus!! I have always had to have friends in my life and with age it has only just increased...

My need for friends just seems to climb the older that I get too!!

When we moved here from Illinois almost 6 years ago that was my first biggest loss...friends. I felt like I was living on this big planet all ALONE. Sure my hubby was here and my darling daughter was living really close to me also...but no women my age!!

One of our neighbors came right over the same day and introduced herself. I cannot tell you how "happy" that made me but that first year was still a nightmare to me. I did a lot of crying that first year that a lot of people do not know about (course they do now)!! By now everyone knows that the neighbor was and is Tootsie. Between her and my getting involved in my church here in Savannah I have made myself get going and get involved!! You cannot sit around and feel sorry for yourself. God does not want that for his child!!

"Good friends are like stars, you don't always see them but you know they are there."

Today I am thankful for the friends that have came into my life here in Savannah. This Saturday Tootsie and I are giving another one of our neighborhood parties. We are hoping to have a record turn out once again. We, together, are meeting more and more friends and gettting our neighborhood learn to know each other through our efforts!!! See why I am so thankful today???
