Excessively shy and introverted as a kid, I somehow found myself four incredible friends. We gained a lot of notoriety during our college years, and boy, we had the most incredible time of our lives. Today, more than eleven years later, we are still the best of friends, even though our addresses belong to three different continents and our watches are set to four different time zones.
My friends forgive me for one quirk of mine - Ever so often, I crawl into this shell of mine, cocooned in a silence of my own creation. I do it when life gets a little less than perfect. If there is something that I am immensely grateful to my four friends for - it is their patience. Every time I crawl into my shell, I know I can count on them being there, right outside, waiting for me to crawl back out.
I want to peek out of my shell again. I actually want to write again. So what if life is handing me lemons? Maybe I could blog about lemon pickle recipes? I see and hear things that I genuinely want to talk about, and share with the wonderful readers who sometimes wander into this little crazy world of mine.

How important friends are in our lives...sometimes to hold us back, sometimes to join us in doing those crazy things we do. Life is hardly perfect, but it just is a bit better with friends around...cheers!
In my opinion, most of the time Life gives us lemons to keep things interesting. If everything was too sweet then we would end up with indigestion :)
If life gives you lemons - make a lemonade or a pickle out of it :) Try to turn it into something positive.
As one of the 4 friends..honoured to have had a mention in your blog and yes i am right here waiting for your reply for over a week now my dear tortoise :)
You write very well.
