Like you, my friends range from 20's to 70's and are all very different from one another.<br />I asked just the opposite question last year when I was wondering why I would have such an aversion to one couple. There's not really any specific reason why we wouldn't want to be their friends, but being with them always feels like such an effort!<br />Nice thought provoking post again. sorry to ramble :-)imbeingheldhostagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771374087307254969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-49189463837702620012010-02-28T18:10:34.127+00:002010-02-28T18:10:34.127+00:00The photo was wonderful and nostalgic.

I'm up in the air about it as much as you. Sometimes how we lived as children becomes a factor. Other times, I think it has to do with our comfort zone and which people are appropriate for which contrasting situation.<br /><br />When you get right down to it, perhaps friends are there to fulfill us in our needs when we are lacking a bit of something during our day: when we need a chuckle or an intelluctual debate or just something fun and crazy to do. And different people satisfy those needs in their own imaginative way.<br /><br />So good to hear Eddie is doing better. Hope the swelling in his leg goes down soon!Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10117937124348728578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-12312185439883094242010-02-28T18:09:01.689+00:002010-02-28T18:09:01.689+00:00I had lunch with a friend recently, and she said s...I had lunch with a friend recently, and she said she believes God puts our friends into our lives for a specific reason. She said she knew why God had put me into her life, but she didn't tell me, and I didn't ask.

The one you are most connected to and the one that makes you feel that you have found your alter ego. That's a friendship made for life.
