Decided I need a friend here in MN. I've been here a yr now and no friends. It's up to me to do what I have to do to make friends. Go to church, maybe a bp support group , I guess that would be a good start. I've begun praying about it too because I'm sure God can pair me up with the right person. He did once before and it was a good friendship for the 5 yrs it lasted, some stay and some go. My friend J in CO is just too busy to spend any time at all emailing me or calling me. I understand that and when school is out she will be more available then. She is the busiest person I know or have ever known. I don't know how she does it. Anyway, my other friend M in CO never emails me and when we talk she doesn't like to talk for long and I never get what I need from her. I try to give to her and I know I do but I can only be as much of a friend as she will let me be to her. Long distance friendships are good but they can't take the place of a face to face friend , living near you that you do things with and see on a regular basis. So, I choose to do something about this, problem is my fear gets in the way. Fear of new places and new people. But I have been to the church several times so I just need to start going back and eventually I will meet people. As far as the bp group goes I haven't decided if that is something I want to do or not. We'll see. So pray for me to find a good friend here in MN. Everything else is good. School, is good. Sleep is fair, diet is good, exercise is bad. I might join the Y. With my health insurance I can join for free. And it's not that far from the house really. About a 10 minute drive. Maybe I'll go ck into that tomorrow. Well, that's all my news today.

God will pair you with the right person. I know it is hard to meet new people but you have the right idea. I am glad things are going well. Joining the Y is a good idea since it is free and exercise can do you good both in the mood part and as a stress reliever. It might help clear you head after a hard day studying. Have a good week.
