Now For Something Completely Different - An Entry
Good thing I don't get paid for how often I post something on here.
How sad is it that we let ourselves get so busy that we no longer have time for friends. Friends are our most valuable asset. Of course, if you are married you have your best friend to come home to and spend time with (you do spend time with your spouse right?). That is great and healthy. If I had to spend the rest of my life with only one person it would definitely be my wife. That's why I married her! If I couldn't be with her anymore I would be very upset. I know it could happen, but I still don't like it. However, there is definitely a value to friends other than your spouse.
I will put in here that if you are married and have close single friends of the opposite gender, you really need to consider what you are doing. You committed yourself to one person of the other gender. That's all about that.
(Since I'm a guy...) Hanging out with 'the guys' is so valuable. Can you put a price on having close friends that understand you, and you understand? I have known, and been around, Nic Gardner for about 10 years. We both know each other and how each other thinks. That's why when you get us together we can always make each other laugh. We know exactly what to say that is funny to each other. We also know each other's struggles. There are others that I've known as long, and some not as long, as I've known Nic, but that I share a similar relationship with. I can not put a price on those relationships in any way. They make me laugh, they support me, they admonish me.
Why have I let myself get so busy that I don't spend almost any time with these friends that mean so much to me. As we all get older we put less and less importance on our friends. They take a lower priority to advancing at my job, creating websites, and everything else I do. Then, when all of my friends have priorities over me we never have any time to spend together.
Shouldn't our friends be the people that we experience everything with? Celebrate together, cry together?
In other news, things are going well and I love my wife.
