I spend a lot of my time matching up children who feel like they are friendless. Sometimes I match up children in 2nd grade who are besties through 6th grade.
My friends are my family.
Except....they like me, they adore me, they say nice things about me.
My friends understand that in a writer's life, sometimes I ignore their
phone calls, their emails and their texts.
If my muse is on fire, I am not a good friend.
My friends are my lifeline. They are always lassoing me in,
to gently let me know I have gone too far, said too much, or said too little.
My friends are the people I can trust to keep
the outrageous things I say, in confidence and
if they have to share, I know they will use generalizations,
not saying the who of it.
My friends are the up-standers, not the bystanders.
Even if we disagree, we still respect each other, love
each other and hug each other big before and after
dinner.
My friends use fantastic, optimistic, adjectives to describe me and
all of their other friends.
My friend s introduce me to their other friends, so I have friends.
My friends jump and shout and twirl and tell their friends when something
good happens to me.
My friends stand by me, no matter how rudely my writer self treats them.
My friends are my family.
