Cold days make you think...

Ya know you never really realize how important friends are to you until they aren't around anymore. It's kinda a sad realization that has been sneaking up on me recently. All this cold weather makes me think about things a lot more. And I realized that most of the friends that I did things with like 3 or 4 months ago haven't really been around since then. And it seems like when we do things together that time period has been getting much, much bigger. It's really kinda depressing what a cold, blustry day will make you think of. But then I have to remember, Friends may come and go, but your family is always there. And ya know, that saying is so true! Thinking back to years ago in high school, the only thing that mattered to me was my boyfriend and my friends. I could have cared less what my family was doing. Then I got to college, where friends are a good thing to have if your living away from home. But you start to realize that family is a pretty good thing. Because eventually your friends from college get married and then they join the married club and then you don't see them anymore. But then when you get married and find fun married friends then everything is back to normal. Family in this time of life is also like your friends. You begin to start thinking "Hmm, I wonder what my parents are doing tonight?" But now, I guess I'm in that stage where all of my friends have kids and are now in the 'young family' circle so I really don't see them anymore. It's really sad to see this day come and hopefully sometime I will be in the same circle as they in the future and we will be able to get together again. However, I am truly happy that I have been able to hang out with my parents, my sister and her family, my little brother and his fiance, and my greatest friend of all - my hubby. It's always a good day when I get to stay home and play the wii with him and kick his but in sports! ;)
