As I was addressing our Christmas cards on Sunday night (I only made it through the Ls, by the way) I was going down the list and it got me to thinking about friends again. I know I post about this subject a lot, but I think that many of us can relate.
When I got engaged and started to plan our wedding my single and married friends couldn't have been happier for me. I knew I would get that little bit of jealousy, after all, I had experienced it when I was single, but I was never expecting to feel like friendships had run their course.
So, of course, I'm going through my Christmas card list and wondering if certain people should be sent a card. I know I will since I've ordered the cards and do want them to know I'm thinking of them, but I was just pondering the idea that they would or wouldn't notice if they didn't get a card from me.
Then, of course, I have a few blog friends that I'd love to include on my list since I feel like I have so much more in common with them.
Does this sound familiar? People you've never even met in real life, but their thoughts and posts just seem so in tune with who and where you are in life? I'm pretty sure these ladies will know who they are since we chat on Twitter and I'm a regular commenter on their blogs.
But, there are also those bloggers whose words I always enjoy and feel like we could be friends as well, but maybe don't comment on. Anyone reading this blog that feel that way and maybe doesn't comment? I'd love to know your thoughts.

Regardless of geography - there will always be people that you just "click" with. Send those people Christmas cards; they'll really appreciate them!
I agree - I, too, have friends that I doubt would really notice if they didn't get a card from me this year. It makes me a little sad.
You know, I'm feeling that way more and more about my friends back home. We're not sending out cards or anything, but I get the same just not clicking feeling too. And it makes me wonder, well I wanted them to be bridesmaids at our vow renewal but maybe not so much anymore? I don't know...And I also agree that I click with some bloggers SO much more than I do with current friends. In fact, I'd rather have a conversation with you right now! =] Anyway, glad to see you are back!
