Friends, friends and friends..

The thing I miss most by far, being here in Dublin, is my friends. I have a few good friends in the Bay Area, some have already fallen off the face of the earth now that I am gone. I shouldn't be surprised really, the same thing happened when I left to travel in 2002. I guess the feeling is so strange... people I was so close to suddenly I don't hear from, or it's sporadic. It makes me a little sad.. I miss them.

But recently, I've found a whole new bunch of girls. The online ones. We used to know each other from posting on our i-village websites, now we are all blogging. I read how each is doing, they read how I'm doing, there's all sorts of support for me from a place I never expected to get it. I get alot of advice, support, laughter from these ladies and unlike my wine drinking/hiking/dancing/irish bar hopping/wicca friends, they are here for me day in and day out. I feel like I'm reaching out there and these girls are reaching back and this is making me happier than I can say right now.

Thanks girls.
