Isn't only shared with this lil lady.

(Dinner tonight).
However, this got me thinking in who are those that I align with?
Hang out with...
This is my friend April.
We met up about a month ago and had brunch at this cool restaurant outside Temecula.
She had this book she wanted me to read.
It's on finding the Joy right now in your life.
So Miss April and I, we were in the same bible study together.
We became fast friends when we shared similar upbringings.
Her 82 year old Mom is her roommate.
Has a sister that lives outta state but no relationship.
Hmmm, I can mirror that statement.
So, My alliance

| My friend from Church, April. |
 |
| Really cool flower shop. |
 |
| Great restaurant. |
 |
| Would of been a better picture if it wasn't so bright. |
 |
| This bird house made me think of my sister Barbara in Texas who at one time collected birdhouses. |
 |
| Check out all those birdhouses. Must take my sister's here next time they visit. |
 |
| My Niece Kate is pregnant with Baby Faith. Wonder if she'd like this? |

I never thought when Dennis passed, I would leave San Diego County.
That relationships with some siblings would become estranged.
So, My alliance
network
core group
of friends are from church.
I have had to push outside my comfort zone to find alliances with those like minded.

I sure found that within the fellowship of my church.
The woman of the church.
Via Bible studies.
Home fellowships.
Most of the girls are my age.
or Either 3 years younger, or max 3 to 4 years older.
Nowadays with my family split apart with distance, these friends have become family.
I wish I lived closer to Barb, Kathie or Lori, but life right now is in Temecula.
I have to find Joy in just living in the moment.
Seeing where the gifts are.
Now to find time to read this book.
hmmmm when?
God bless you and yours!

I know what you mean about family. I put an extreme amount of effort when my family visited to help them have a good time. Even though I had to work the next day I gave up my bed and slept on the floor. Also, made sure they had good food. But you know sometimes things are in our mind the way we hope they will be. Even at the time it was so hard to please them. Good friends are fun. They love it when you send a card for their birthday or help them with a church project of some sort. I love church families and they are not so critical. If they become critical you just have to straighten your shoulders and move forward with others you find. Normally they are just having a bad day and come back around after a while. This way we are not always searching to bring our families together. I'm not sure they want the connection or they don't consider it important. That's ok I've got friends to fill any time when I'm not busy cleaning, cooking, budgeting, or doing paper work. Hope you and Savy are having lots of fun from time to time. Maybe the zoo when the weather is nice.
Viola,
That is such an awesome book, I read it and starting telling all my friends about it. Can't wait to hear what you think of it.
So thankful for our women friends in Christ right! Glad that you have them in your life.
I thought about you when I posted a poem on my blog hope you will check it out over at Echo of my Heart :-)
Hugs!
Went to a Celebration of Life yesterday for Tracie Bossen Jewelll. One if her fiends said "Friends are God's apology for family." Kind of struck home.
