Friendship becomes love, and when she dies of cancer, loss. But, she keeps telling him the price for the happiness now is the loss to come. She thinks it's worth it and eventually so does he. If you don't open yourself to love you won't get hurt, at least not as badly-but, oh what you'll miss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-32403192288814461982004-08-21T13:49:00.000-07:002004-08-21T13:49:00.000-07:00Ok, i'll admit that I hadn't read all the way thro...Ok, i'll admit that I hadn't read all the way through when I posted my first comment. The remark about the apples reminded me of a story my dad used to tell. He grew up in the Newburg area of Oregon and everybody had apple trees. Every fall in grade grade school and junior high the kids would make apple cider. The teachers would be sure to tell them not to include the wormy apples...........I leave the rest to your imagination. He said the cider always tasted really good, though. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-86681935614077474252004-08-21T14:02:00.000-07:002004-08-21T14:02:00.000-07:00I love that movie you speak of.

People who fall into that trap often find themselves living a self-defeating life. They are bitter because they lack something, such as a romantic relationship. But it is that bitterness that may be keeping them from being in such a relationship. After all, very few people find bitterness to be an attractive peronality trait. We all struggle with bitterness, depression or loneliness (or all of the above) at some time or another. These are things we must work through. Your optimistic attitude will serve you well - please don't ever lose it!<br><br>JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-4063459720652356952004-08-21T21:35:00.000-07:002004-08-21T21:35:00.000-07:00I'll be re-catching up with my journal reading...I'll be re-catching up with my journal reading soon, but I wanted to pop in and wish you a very Happy AOL-J Anniversary tonight!!

A good way to look at it though, that you are the sum of ALL that's happened to you, and that you wouldn't be YOU without the good AND the bad. A relationship would be nice...but you can't exactly order one up! No advice from me on that one...I'd be the LAST person to ask!

We pick up companions along the way; they come and go, for they are on their own journeys as well, & may take different paths. Some will impede our progress, others will make our burden lighter; we will do the same by them; we should strive for the latter. Some will travel with us briefly, some longer, and if we're very fortunate and wise, one or two will complete our sojourn with us. Guilt is wasted energy, but regrets; if we are human we will bear them. We will all learn from each other.<br><br>(Whew! What a windbag.
