Having one close friend, even if she's miles away, is a grand treasure. I think you tend to focus on what you don't have to the point where you can't see what you do have, and if you've been reading these forums at all you know that you get more of what you focus on.

When you're bewailing your lack of friends, that would be a great time to think about how grateful you are for that friend you do have, and maybe even call her up and express your appreciation for having her in your life. Attracting the things you want, lightthecandle, has everything to do with noticing and appreciating and allowing.

For instance, when you post here, you seem to never notice that you've got this big circle of friends who are pulling for you. We may not be as "close" to you as you'd like, but can you see that what you express here has very little noticing, appreciating, and allowing? I think that is because you are caught up in your old pain, but really, everybody is in the same boat.

If you want to have what you want, BE it. Be the source of what you want, lightthecandle. Breathe life into life, don't suck it out.
