True, I wouldn't call them friends---just acquaintances. If they consider themselves friends of OP, then their definition of friendship is drastically different.

I don't know what you mean by women in their 50's have etched out their lives, unless you mean they are just too busy with their lives for a real friendship?

If so, not for me. As I posted, I believe one MAKES time for what's important. And if a friendship is important, then it's a priority and other things take a backseat.

I use the analogy of a garden that needs tending to grow. If you neglect it, it will wither and die. It needs nourishment and attention. Similar to a house being sturdy. Without a good foundation, it will crumble.

I agree with everything that you said! I like your garden analogy. That’s so true!
