A friend loves at all times. Boy, how true those words are, and how much I value them. I am now starting to realize how tough this transition to Texas might be. I've realized a lot about myself, in that I make "Acquaintances" easily, but TRUE friends.... not so much. Finding those who can put up with my tardiness, somewhat/sometimes overwhelming personality (and mouth to boot), not to mention my "Jekyl and Hyde" Gemini personality is going to be a challenge. Seriously, folks, that's how I am.
It's hard to find friends who understand that.... one day I might feel really social, while the next, I just want to hide inside and be a loner; or that, my mouth runs away from me; or that I usually run about 5-10 minutes late because I try to cram in that last second activity or project when I really don't have time; or that, I'm not great about answering emails or phone calls right away. It's even harder to find someone who will choose to not take these short-comings and idiosyncrasies personally.
Yesterday, it hit me how daunting this "new friend hunt" will be. And I felt all alone. And so thankful for those girlfriends I've had all my life, who KNOW how I am, because they've trudged through the sludge of my baggage, right along with me. They have chosen to love me anyway. I MISS you guys. I love you guys.
