Some of my most significant friendships began late in my life, (like Firefly, I'm much older than you,)and the trick is to sustain them. I found myself needing to set "play dates" on the calendar and commit to meeting.wakeupandwritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609907178978468802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524151126733954593.post-35873649006376361522012-07-17T23:03:19.781-05:002012-07-17T23:03:19.781-05:00I like it!

I have also found that as I get older, I can be friends with people of many different ages. I never would have thought that when I was younger. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Margaret Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04434866104385187658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524151126733954593.post-12328508598222240502012-07-17T10:27:54.353-05:002012-07-17T10:27:54.353-05:00My husband and I (who are much older than you!) we...My husband and I (who are much older than you!) were just talking about this yesterday. How hard it is to be set apart, not following the crowd just for the sake of fitting in. There's a line there, and it involves integrity and standing up for what you believe in. (Nowadays it also involves knowing what you believe in the first place!) I love what you said: "Not worrying about having or wanting the best, but being the best." Wow! All this and a new (old soul) friend, too. Lucky you!
