did you ever feel thin?

Not thin physically (that would be nice) but thin emotionally. Maybe it's flat that I feel. I'm not sure, but going home to MI, visiting churches we've been a part of, spending time with old friends and thinking of all the great people I've met along the way sometimes makes me feel sort of... flat, thin, stretched, adrift, I'm not quite sure how to express what I'm feeling.

Friendship is something I value and having moved so many times I've had to leave a lot of friends. Maybe I just grieve those lost friendships. With many of my friends when we get together we just pick up where we left off. But, there's something about doing life together that takes friendship to another level and distance makes that difficult.

My life has truly been enriched by friends. I have a small group of friends from junior high/high school. Friends from my summer travels with Kids Crusaders. There's something special about my crazy college friends. Then there are friends from my time in Philly - living with people creates a bond. As an adult I've lived in Marion, Milwaukee, Madison, Eaton Rapids, Lansing and now Plainfield, Indiana. Thank you to those of you who have encouraged me and let me share a bit of your life.
