Friends.

I have to say when I look back (again!) at 2008 , it wasn't the very best year for friends . I did make a few. Take any year and if you are a reasonably social & lively person, you are bound to. But I am not sure if I retained some good ones that I had.People have drifted apart. I have lost touch.
Or we have simply moved on and do not have much in common anymore.

I truly believe a person's best indicator is the circle of friends he keeps. Not just the networking , air kissing , meeting at parties only type friends but the one's who can be relied on, who we can rehash our grievances with , bitch a bit and who let us know now and then that we are OK.

I look at my account on social networking sites and I see that I have friends in the hundreds. And then I started counting on the ones that I really like, admire , look up to. Not many I noticed with some sadness.

Friends , cliche though it may be , make life happy and a fun place to be at.
