      Now, you have tons of blog fans. 😉 No, I get it. I find I like my own company more and more, which is a good thing because no one wants to hang out anyways. 😂

         Thank you! After three divorces, I find that I really do like my own company too, K. It’s also just being older. My sister and I had a conversation about this a while back, she is just a bit older and we have had the same experiences with marriage. We are in our “my time” part of life if that makes sense. Dating would be a hassle and not something either of us want.

      Thank you, Bob. Those updo’s sure have a lot of pins. It’s liberating letting them all go, really. I appreciate you reading and commenting on this brevity.

         Bonnie the bobby pin doesn’t know what she’s missing out on. I’ve lost a couple of ones I didn’t think would ever get jarred out of this mop of curls, myself. But, the breeze sure feels good.

   So true & great way of explaining it – the old ache of lost friendships still lingers.

      Thank you, Tom. It is very true that romanticizing those past relationships gets easier with time. I appreciate your comments very much.

      Thank you, many times over, Roksana. 💜 I remember on my wedding having so many bobby pins in my hair and how it felt to have them all taken down. I think I feel that relief when any toxic relationships come to an end.

      Oh, that’s too bad. I do not have a lot of childhood friends that I stay in contact with anymore. I think it is nice to have those old friends, but to know that paths diverge and remerge as live’s progress. I do hope I cross paths with some of these old friends sometime in the future.

      Lucky you, Tiff. I do like to catch up with old friends. I think its okay to let friendships come and go in our lives as we go through different stages and phases. 💜 I hope you enjoyed the day with not too much itching or poking. 🙂

    It’s sad how some friendships we once deemed so important and integral to our lives can eventually fall by the wayside, but it’s a reality most of us experience over time for a variety of reasons.

       I think I have a hard time letting any friend go. But when I’m able to do it, I feel relieved and freed.

    Sometimes it’s necessary for peace of mind. Maybe not easy initially, but in the end, worth it.
