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.
