Wednesdays the day I've been setting aside to write. Most of my posts are about homemaking, cooking, book reviews, or photo's.
On Wednesday I've either been posting illustrated scripture . . .
Or writing a post about something I've been thinking about.
The other day a topic that Lisa Jo suggested hit me close to home. The topic was "Close".
I thought about what I would say if someone said. Who are your close friends.
It makes me sad to say but I don't have any close friends. There are people I know at work. But I wouldn't really consider them my friends. They don't even have my phone number.
I got to thinking about that word and what it means to me in respect to my blog. I started My Journey Back at a time that I was
really lonely. I've used this photo for my header and in my posts a lot. It represents how I feel a lot.
It's not what I want but it is what it is. I don't have a closeness with
anyone. No girlfriends to call up and meet for lunch.
That's why my blog is important to me. Meeting people through my blog gives me a chance to find new friends.
Sometimes I need a shoulder to cry on.
Sometimes I just need a sounding board.
Sometimes I need someone to ask 'How was your day.'
I've been thinking about this post and how to write it for awhile.
How to share my heart without being whiney and at the same time express how I feel.
My blog is important to me. .
The sweet friends that visit and leave a comment brighten my day.
My visitors. My followers. You are my Close.

Grantham, such a heart-felt post. I always say that my husband is also my best friend. I've found that many girlfriends over the years have been a bit fickle, but maybe so have I, not meaning to. But blogging puts a whole new meaning on being close friends. We all share our thoughts, frustrations, joys, etc. And we appreciate each other for what we are. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sherry!!
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to this post.
Even my church friends are not close.
I am finding this is a time God wants me to grow close to Him.
I'm learning so much by doing online book studies and book reviews.
God Bless you my friend!!
There are a lot of people that are here for you...even if it is in spirt only...😃JP
