All friendships among women need a double dose of love. Think of a dear friendship. Can you feel the love? Or do you just know it? 🙂 Please leave a comment if you have a moment. Comments spell l-o-v-e too.

Choice is a wonderful gift from God. You do NOT have to be stuck in self-focused anxiety. You can find God’s freedom.
I am thoroughly enjoying these. My job keeps me away from home, family, and friends for 4-6 weeks at a time. I get so lonely. Cyber-friends from social media, blogs like this one, books, prayer, God’s Word, and a cell phone are the things that keep me somewhat connected to relationships. I long for face-to-face connection, especially since my love language is touch. I battle depression constantly. Yes, I am looking for a new job, but that has proven to be a real challenge. Anyway, thanks, Lucy, for making me feel like a wanted friend, even though we have never met. Maybe one day we will. By the way, I love your heart for women, moms, children, family, and God.

I am deeply touched, Judy. Thank you! I am sorry you are feeling depressed. I’ve been there too. . .a number of years ago. I’d love to chat with you some time. Just to say “hi.” If you like this idea, send your phone number to my email: Lucy @ LucyAnnMoll (dot) com. Blessings, Lucy 🙂
I have a few friends who we can just be around each other not even talk but we know that just the presence of one another is what we need and silence at the same time !
Amanda, I have friends like that too. Not too much silence. We can’t help but talk! 😀
I didn’t think I had anything to add to this post. I read it and went on to my email. But, there is something that started wandering around in my mind. I have had women that at first I thought of as friends, but over time I began to realize that there was something lacking. It was in the empty reassurances or kind words that indicated that they didn’t really know who I was or what I was dealing with or feeling, etc.
I was actually thinking of a situation that occurred at church this morning. Some words that didn’t address the real issue because she didn’t know the whole story. Because I have become self protective where she is concerned. But, this thing is, is that I love her and she loves me. So, that leaves me thinking and a bit confused about Pooh’s “spelling” of love. There are levels of love, I guess….
Hi Karen, I’ve been thinking about your comment :). For me personally, I believe the depth our friendships can vary depending on how comfortable we both feel on keeping it real. There have been seasons where I have felt particularly close to one friend verses another. I have felt that love Pooh is talking about :), even when I might feel a little guarded with my feelings. I would describe it as that mutual love and respect for each other ,even when we sometimes might be on different pages in our lives.
I loved what you shared, JoAnne and Karen. I too have levels of friendships. Seasons of friendships too. You can count on Winnie the Pooh and Piglet to stir up deep emotions, huh? Love those critters. 😀
