Surrounded... Alone...

Don't know where this post will go tonight, but have you ever felt like you have so may people to count on -- friends and family, people who say they will do anything for you.  Be there for you.  Say the right things when needed,  but still somehow, you feel alone. This is in my head often.  There are many days I feel abandoned even though I have a great husband, a loving son, terrific family and supportive friends.  I still feel alone.  I feel like I don't have friends in proximity, friends I can count on if my son gets sick and I need my hand held because there is no one else here in this state that can do it at that time!  The proximity of my close friends is at least 4 hours.  This is one of the reasons I feel this way.

Sometimes I reach out to people that I hardly know, haven't known in a while and or don't know if I should be reaching out to .  This reaching out is on the wonderful world of facebook because on FB you are surrounded, but alone.  Who is REALLY your friends on fb?  Yeah, your spouse, significant other, bestie, yeah yeah.  Who else though?  We are friends with hundreds of people, OUR friends, right?   We pour our heart out or confide in some of them.  Why?  Would we do this face to face?  No. Only with our closest and besties!  They are the people who we can count on .  We do find an old friend or two or three and reconnect realize how much we miss them.  It is comforting to have them back in our lives.  However, did they really leave or just were out of touch for a awhile?  I don't know. That is only something you can decide.  I realize who my friends are and I love DON'T GET ME WRONG - I LOVE FB! But I know who my friends are and have the pleasure of getting support where I didn't expect it and in nice sweet ways.  Then there are those I wish to hear from and don't .  Priorities.  I know who to count on.  I just wish I had more people to hold my hand when the time arises.
