People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.....

My friend Katie came up to visit me from Florida this weekend, reminding me that distance has no effect on friendship if the friendship is real.


I truly believe some people are compatible, and others aren't.  Not everyone is cut out to be friends with everyone, but there is a friend out there for everyone. 

"People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime"

I had a friend say this to me a few years back and it is really something to live by.  If you adhere to this rule, you can save yourself a lot of heartache.  I definitely have those "lifer" friends, the ones you tell the truth to when they have a booger hanging, or their shirt is too short to cover their beer belly, or their tramp stamp is looking a little faded.....and those friends who seem to appear in your life right when you feel you can't go another day and lift you up.... and when they leave your life you remember fondly that they were definitely there for a reason.... and then the friends who are there for a wonderful, fulfilling season, that eventually wear out their welcome in your life, and fade like an old pair of underwear that eventually gets holes in it and isn't pretty and sexy anymore.   I can categorize my friendships into reasons, seasons, and lifetimes.

Katie's a lifer.
