Last year, I decided to filter thru my friends and decide which ones are actually friends, and which ones where really just acquaintances. Looks like it's time to do that again. A true friend will want to spend time with you, not make excuses why they can't. After just losing two good friends, to death, it has really made me aware of who my REAL friends actually are. This is all in keeping with my goal of trying to spend time with one girlfriend a week. So, if you don't hear from me, it's just that you have been put on the acquaintance list. I don't have a lot of energy, and the energy I DO have, is saved for friends who actually want to spend time with me. I'm not going to waste what little energy I have, trying to pin people down for coffee anymore.
