friendships never last for ever

I haven't posted much in this journal recently, reserving it for more serious thoughts than the usual useless drivel and banter I post in my "normal" blog.

But I think a lot. Mainly thoughts I keep to myself, like why do apparent friends suddenly stop being so? I am guilty of that also so I am not pointing fingers at any one in particular. We, my wife and I had a joint friendship with another couple that had gone on for years, and suddenly it stopped. we stopped phoning each other, or calling on each other, no particular reason except they moved house a couple of times and because of rising land prices have moved forther and further away from the city.

I wonder, did we or they just get bored or lazy? I know of at least one other blogger that feels that way about another they have been friends with for years, then suddenly silence.

I've had that happen a lot. I guess people get bored of me lol. I can totally understand that though.

It's true. As you get older it it so strange. I saw a woman the other day..and I know that 30 years ago she was someone significant in my life if only for a year..but could not for the life of me figure out how or why.Dianne

pick up the phone and get in contact again. You will probably find they have been thinking a lot about you too.
