She said, "Jennifer, you have a Japanese spirit and you do not act American in your friendships." I had to ask her what do you mean? <BR/><BR/>She said that I have always gone out of my way to be friendly to her when she is not as outgoing as I am and I tend to make efforts to be in touch when people least expect it. <BR/><BR/>I had lost touch with my friend in Japan and I wrote an SOS to a Bahai temple in Japan who actually knew my friend. She was SHOCKED I did that but I missed her.<BR/><BR/>Good friendships are rare and if you have one don't EVER let go.<BR/><BR/>Most of my best friendships have been with both sexes so I think it may depend on the personality of the individual. But, what do I know? I have only been on this earth for 34 years!<BR/><BR/>8)<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your post!SerenityLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554755648505265902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18916729.post-31679539056694488012008-07-19T18:42:00.000-04:002008-07-19T18:42:00.000-04:00Hi Harlem Writer,My most lasting, inspiring, and i...Hi Harlem Writer,<BR/><BR/>My most lasting, inspiring, and intense friendships have been and still are with people who live or originated abroad (Europe, Africa, and the Middle East), not here in the states. <BR/><BR/>I had planned to add your blog to my blogroll weeks ago, but the business of life got in the way and I forgot.
