As I get older I find myself with less friends. Each year I weed out a few more…each year I get a bit more happy! My family life is better and things are just great!
It’s hard to find those few. The few that are your real friends. Your friend through thick and thin. The friends that give a crap about you and your family and what happens to y’all. They are not jealous, condescending, gossipy or trying to use you to climb some social ladder.
When I got sick I noticed a lot of my friends were just assholes. Yes…assholes. They didn’t care. They only cared about themselves and couldn’t be bothered to just check up on us. Not even just to check up on me, but my family!
Your “friends” can really affect your well-being. You really need to rid yourself of all the unhealthy relationships in your life. If they make you unhappy get rid of them! You may be surprised at how good this can be for your well being!
I had to weed out a few more people today and may even clean out a few more before the night is over.

Were you reading my mind? I think I could have written that word for word….You will always be my friend Brandy!
It’s so true. You do notice people dropping off the face of the earth when things get crappy. Although I try to make sure I’m the kind of friend I want my friends to be… Maybe that’s why I have no friends…. LOL
It really is true. When you are down, that’s when you find out who your true friends really are.
I agree…there is a country song that says it perfectly. Even if you don’t like country music, this song is great:

It’s amazing how many aren’t around when you’re in need…
Ah, this is so true. Trials have a way of burning off the dross, don’t they. A good friend, a real good friend, is hard to find.
I have been trying to explain the difference between real friends and acquaintances to my teenage son for two years now. Real friends are few and far between, where as acquaintances are a dime a dozen. The people that drop off aren’t your real friends so it’s their loss.
Your best friend is also your life mate as they understand you in and out, living love always
