Not a fool by any means

Sometimes the hardest thing is seeing the direction of your friends lives...and realizing you are moving in opposite directions.
Still the main feelings...but no longer involved in familiar ways.
I dislike loosing touch with people. I have multiple friends but few that TRULY know me and my dreams.
I was thinking of all of the people I know now and the ones I knew before.
My longest time friend (30 years) is no longer in contact with me.
That is painful.
My shortest known friends all are pairing up and this sends them off to new directions.
It is sometimes strange looking at my children and realizing the choices they make send them away in new directions also.
Here is the wonderful thing of all this perspective:

I am still the center from MY perspective. They all come back to check in on me.

Now that may be a foolish way to look at your value, but I do not believe it is unwarranted.

I think I will go fly my kites today (after trimming a dog) and see who else will be pulling my strings and dancing in the sky with me again.
