Friends and whatnot

Today my calendar from librarian has the quote "A friend is what the heart needs all the time." - Henry Van Dyke
I like that quote and I can see the truth behind it, because you always want to be able to talk to someone about what has been happening in your life. My life right now really hasn't been all that exciting but it has been stressful and I am thankful that we are in a new year, so things can kind of start over and I can get a fresh start. I tend to be the one that always tries to keeps things planned and organized and I always like to know what the plans are when others are up to hanging out. I guess that is just kind of who I am and what I am about. When I get an email or comment from someone that I havent heard from in a while, I tend to let my hopes get high that maybe, just maybe we are going to find time to hang out... I am learning not to do that though, because that isn't always the case even though they say it is... What can I say, I guess I am starting out this New Year a bit more cynical and pessimistic than last year... Oh well so be it!
