More Wonderings...Friends

Recently, I received an e-mail poem about friends and it started me wondering. It stated that there were three types of friends, friends for seasons, friends for reasons, and lifetime friends. I pondered this and mostly I agree with it. As I think about all the different people I've called that special word, "friend", I begin to smile and the memories flow, much like a gently moving stream. Probably, I could name most of the people, but I'm sure, I have also forgotten the names of a few. When looking back over the 60+ years of my life, I've been blessed with many good people who I've met on my journey called life. I think I'd have to add 2 categories of friends, perhaps as a subtitle under lifetime friends. One would be consistent lifetime friends. These are the ones that are constantly in your life. The other would be weavers, which seem to come and go, but are always popping up when you least expect it. All friends are needed and make life just a little more pleasant. Another point about my friends is how different they are and I wonder if they ever met, how they would respond to each other. Also I wonder, how others view their friends. ??? Again, my wandering wonderings have me pondering life.
