I've been reading a blog by an American mother which I've found thought provoking and bloody funny.http://kvetchmom.wordpress.com/ try to take time out to read a couple of her stories, great writer.
Well Kvetchmom makes a good point about friends, in one of her blogs. She calls them 'Catchers', those friends that dust you down, stand you up and set you back on the right path when you are feeling low. the original idea came from watching a youtube video of a man catching a toddler who had climbed up the outside of an escalator and fell. No drama, just caught the boy in his arms and sent him off back to his mum.
I have several Catchers in my life and also some Keepers. Keepers to me are Friends that I don't communicate with every week but when we do catch up, we are at ease with each other and can put the world to rights. Friends that would do anything for you or with you. These friendships last a lifetime and I am very grateful to all my Catchers and Keepers, you know who you are. xxx
