How many of you women out there have men friends? I mean really friends, someone you love to hang with or someone you e-mail and wait on bated breath to hear an update on their life. I have a few male friends that I communicate with here on the stream and some that have been life long friends and we will communicate probably for life. I love them all for their minds, you all know who you are. These relationships are a very special, added addition, to my already strong and bonded female friendships, those near and those far, you know who you are, once again...and I desperately need you all.

I love the camaraderie and the added dimensions to my thinking that the friendships bring. I think it is vital to the human element to have friends both male and female to add to our perspectives. This goes along with friends of color, gay and lesbian, different religions, ages and political viewpoints, this is all vital for a well rounded person. Being the animal lover I am, I cannot leave out our connections to this kingdom, as well. No person is an island, though some profess to be, but I personally think this is hogwash, since they are communicating this on a blog to thousands... some island! Maybe they are Manhattan...it's pretty crowded there.

Well, just want to let all my friends and relatives out there know how much I appreciate every single one of you. And, I never bunch you up together as groups, of course, except for this posting, only as a way to tell you how much you mean to me. So, let's continue this repartee for as long as we can stand it...what deya say??

luv ya,
