Where do I begin I say to myself when I sign into my hippie website daily to see sadly that I do not have a friend. Don't get me wrong, one friend is better than no friends but I want a social network. I want communication, I want to get to know people and hear what they have to say. You don't have to be physically present to develop a friendship. A friend is someone who is wiling to put what their doing down to listen and focus on the other person. Paying very close attention to detail and what they have to say, a real friend will listen rather than lecture. I believe in building an online community of friendships. There is so much you can do with many connections around the world. Learn new things, get ideas and tips on certain life issues. Experience the joy of having someone to chat with when your having a bad day and their willing to give an encouraging word. Friendships are avoided these days because people complicate what a friend is supposed to be. A friend is there when they can be and if they can't let it go and don't hold it against them. Pressure in a relationship always causes something or someone to blow up. I'm looking for friends, I feel like Mr. Rodgers "will you be my neighbor." lol.. humble yourself and you will be exalted at just the appointed time. Well I am humble enough to request a chance with some friendships online. What do we have to loose anyway. So welcome friends to my community of love and support. My motto is encouragement. Encouragement is what makes or breaks a person, words are powerful. They are containers that hold life or death, we must be very careful when we speak to others and what we say because we are responsible for the words that come out of our mouth. Or on the internet, the words that are expressed through typing. Be a light, don't doom and gloom and walk around with your head in the sand. Wake up a fresh and a new, knowing that today is going to be better than yesterday. You are alive, you woke up and you are breathing, that is a miracle in it's self. Change your perspective and your whole world will be turned upside down, you will see things like you've never seen them before. So fellow internet community, do I have any takers on friends? I wish you all well and Happy Friday. Peace and love Lex
