Trial and Error

A little something...Thoughts, inspirations, moments in time. Hints, glimpses, windows into what is. Life as I am living it. All work copyright 2006 by Ranya Mike.

From trial and error to guesswork, my life is a work in progress. Practice is key, and love the main ingredient. The journey is long, but the way is right. Time is endless, but here is where I make it stop. Memories are for the making.

Rania and Ranya



Think about it -
You meet someone and then you get married. You meet someone and you become friends. You meet someone who was dating your cousin and then they break up, but your friendship doesn't. Then your husbands meet each other. Then, one day, maybe, your children will meet each other.
You meet when you were in college, single, carefree. Your topic of discussion are classes, homework, teachers, boyfriends, going out after school, parents. You celebrate birthdays and meet each other's parents. You grow up - but not apart. Then, you get married - and miss each other's weddings...But you still meet the husbands... And manage to get together as a foursome. Now, you talk about cooking, housework, husbands, and still parents! You now see each when you can, but talk almost always. You continue to grow and celebrate birthdays, but now you do that long-distance. You send birthday gifts and cards by mail - but you stay together...
That, in short, is Rania and Ranya - the blond and the brunette; the sensible and the reckless; the wives.

Hi!

I wish I had a friendship like that. Sadly, most of my friendships have lost their closeness due to long-distance and bilateral, general neglect. Plus, none of my friends are married or have kids so, while I have moved on to that phase, they remain at another phase.

Count yourself lucky to have a friendship like this. :)
