Today is too good of a day to spend feeling sad for things that weren't real. 

Why would I say that after so many tears shed?  Because the more I looked at this e-mail friendship, the more I realized that it was a fantasy instead of reality.  Yes, she is real and yes, we exchanged typed words and smiley faces.  But the most important thing that was missing was the ability to see, smell, touch, and hear as the conversation was taking place.  There are women in my local homeschool support group that I know very little about.  Because I met them, I know the many different expressions that they had in a one hour gathering.  I can read their blog and have many more pictures in my head to fill for the words that are not written.  I am really bad at names, but can picture every little thing they write about their child. 

All morning long, the scripture that repeated in my mind was Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - think about such thing. 

I now have piece in knowing that something real, is not worth thinking about.  But what is the truth.  I am far too busy caring for my home to be nuturing a friendship into a best-friend.  For now, my very best-friend is my Loving, Empathetic God.  My other best-friends are first my husand and then next my kids.  My energy should be on enjoyting them and not on things that drain me.  This brings another subject later on.
