As I record this podcast I am preparing my heart to say goodbye to a very close friend. She is moving away and will no longer be across the road.  She has been a neighbor, a walking buddy and a best friend.  Our friendship will continue but I will miss her so much.  Making friends can be so hard as you get older.   Finding your person,  finding people.  True friendship takes work, time and energy.  When life is busy or there is a pandemic,  building new friendships seems impossible.  Which is why lately I’ve been a bit lonely.
