But the last few days have really been an eye opener for me. Firstly, I decided to hang the beautiful heart above that Shayne gave me when we met up during the holidays on our front door as a reminder that home is where your heart is. Now, it also reminds me that Shayne and many other of my friends in the computer are also in my heart and are friends indeed. And yes, I am going to make a plan to meet more of you when I get the chance.
Then, last week, I made contact again with an old friend who I have lost contact with when she and her partner split up. We are so going to make a plan to meet soon. And the same with two good school friends - it remains to see if the ties are still there. But the connections were made. I am under no illusion that friendships of 24 and 22 years and the love and shared memories are build in one year. But I can just as well start on new memories and love.
This morning was the cherry on the top - two emails below each other in my in box - the one subject line: Hello uit Canberra and the next Hallo uit Calgary.Indeed, my friends are where in my heart is, and my computer.
When the time is right things just all fall into place.
ReplyDeleteLove that heart :)
I love the heart and you are so right. Bloggers and internet people also have hearts and they care. There are so many blogging friends who I think are more real friends than the ones I have and meet up with so often.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have friends....close by and far away ~ they are always in our heart :)
ReplyDeleteLovely post
Oh that is wonderful to get emails from such close friends. Our little group of girls also scattered all over the world, Califonia, Australia, England and SA. FB is a great help to keep in contact and share something quickly. But "Nothing bets sharing a cup of tea together"
ReplyDeleteAw. Goosepimple post. I love that I have met so many special woman through my computer. But I love that i have got to meet just a few of them and that there is a definate connection between them and me. Loved so that we got to meet. Love that you love my heart. Love that we are friends.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay to reconnecting and making new memories. THat is what life is all about isn't it? Memories made to carry us through the hard times. xxx
Distance can never dim a friendship. Thank you for being a friend to me too.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true! I have met lovely people through my computer and when we meet in real life, the bond/connection was truly made! So make the effort to meet those in your computer... ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd did you see my post this morning also on friendship. Let's stop talking and actually get together :)

ReplyDeleteLOVE your heart from Shayne.... Shayne - I want one, kay?? ;)
I can so relate...I feel sooo disconnected from all my friends these days. I haven't spent any time with work friends, my BFF or any other friends in way too long. :-( Heck, I haven't even talked to anyone on the phone in forever...
ReplyDeleteGlad you had some chances to reconnect...
LOVE that heart...just beautiful!!
So true. I must admit I've made so many wonderful friends in my computer, I think I need to start making an effort to meet them IRL. Wanna do coffee? :-)
ReplyDeleteYes! let's make a plan.
