As a young mother, I felt like I really needed to have someone to connect with. Daily. I needed play-dates and phone-calls. I needed a best friend (thank you A)!
1. I'm older?
2. I'm becoming reclusive?
3. I exist too much online?
I'm not sure. I love every minute that I get to spend with friends now, but it comes as more of a surprise treat, not a craved reward.
And I think I might like that better.
What do you think? Do friendship needs change with the years? Does that mean we value our friends less? Will I rotate back into needing more time with friends before I find my grave?

This topic has been on my mind lately. I feel like the more kids I have the less friends I have. Not better or worse, just different. When my first was little I wanted To just hang out with friends and talk about our lives. Now my friendships have more purpose, like my running friend, my sewing friend... Our visits are productive. The days of wanting to just hang out for me are gone. I guess there is a time and season for everything. I still love my friendships and cherish my friends but its a different dynamic. Still a good girls night once in a while is good for my soul but no longer essential for my sanity!
Yeah, I feel the same way. It's not that it's BAD necessarily... just different!
I still do worry that I'm overlooking someone though, in my comfort... you know?
