According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary online, a friend is "a person you enjoy and like being with." Based on this definition, I have a plethora of friends. Although I'm an introvert by nature, I do enjoy people's company and try to find the best in everyone I meet.

However, I feel that true friendships are not stagnant and you can depend on them through your darkest times. In other words, friendships should flourish over time and be faithful during all situations. Therefore, I believe I only have a few true friendships, but also know I have a few other developing friendships.

My true or best friends are probably my wife, my daughters, my mother, my brother, most of my other relatives, and above all, my Lord, Creator and Savior. I also have a few true friends at Church, at the school where I work, and throughout the art world I'm involved in. I love them all dearly, and look forward to our friendships continue to flourish throughout years to come.

I think there are just a few people I would tell a secret to or confide in and they are true friends, people I trust who are there when I need them.
Have a good week and be happy, Angela x34

Easy going and carefree
Life paced out as if at sea-
Now that's a cruise ship.
Technical and daunting
Life gets dicey, always advancing- Now that's a space ship.
Loves and hopes and dreams to share Life is full, with some despair-
Now that's a relationship.
Hearty laughs, philosophical talks Life is shared, traversing same walks-
Now that's a friendship.

I like your "Love Tag" especially the patchwork background effect and Cupid running along with the heart, and the photo of roses and wine is heartwarming.
