Addendum

As I was thinking about that last post, I realized maybe I needed to clarify things a little bit so as to not sound bitter. I had a WONDERFUL birthday weekend this year. It was the big 3-0 so I wanted to enjoy my time with the people in my life.

I got a lot of amazing voicemails on my birthday as I wandered around the city of Solvang with Cooper. Since moving to LA, my long-distance friendships have become very dear to me. My connection with my Taylor Univ. girls is so special. And they each called and texted to tell me how important I am to them. There were many messages from friends and family. I don't mean to focus on the negative this way, but I guess it did strike a chord as I realized that some friendships really are non-existent in my life now.

When you sit and think about it, if a friend doesn't know anything about your life anymore and doesn't ever call you back it's not a current friendship. There are those rare situations where you have a "pick up where you left off" kind of friend. Those are to be treasured. I have some childhood friends that are that way with me. And that is precious.

Life is too short to chase people. But it's not too short for my dog to continually attempt to chase his nub of a tail. ;)
