I had an impending visit to my oncologist on Tuesday so I dreaded a Sunday alone. Even the TV shows are worse that day and it seems there´s nothing to do. So I called my best friends and asked them what were they going to do.
The have just bought a piece of land near the mountains and plan to build little by little a family lodge. Bur the moment, it is just nature and the awesome Andes mountains nearby.
So they took me with them and I had a beautiful trip. I took some pictures and then we ate a very late lunch (or early diner) on the way back.
I forgot my dark thoughts and had a lovely time.
Do you have such friends who take care of you when you have problems?

So glad to hear it!! I was there once and I know the feeling of impending doom with an upcoming oncologist appointment. It is best not to be alone because you will drive yourself crazy with it. I'm glad you had friends to be with for the day. It's exactly what you needed.
I do have friends too that I call upon, and family members as well. Sometimes the help will come in ways you don't expect from people you don't expect. Always reach out.
I hope your appointment went well??

My appointment went very well, so I can have my treatment next week. Then it´s 3 months of just having fun and then I have a long list of exams such as scans ansd the like. But that is 3 months away. I´m living the present and trying not to think about the far future.

well friends are meant to relieve stress and if you don't have friends when you alone, they probably aren't your friends. well enjoyment and friends go along and i can say are the same sides of the same coin.

You are right. I am fortunate to have the friends I have. They have been very supportive when I have had problems. I try to do the same, whenever I can.

I always did it to all my friends. They always coming to me when they have problems with their bf/gf, family and even school problems but I never experience somebody took me and drive me for a quite distance to comfort my feelings.
How I wish I can have one.

We will felt relax and comfortable when one of our friends be with us during the time that we are in trouble or have problems. Nobody will comfort you except your friends away from your family. Specially if your problem is related with your family. Right?

I feel that being friends is a two way business. It is of no importance where they take you, but it is important that they are with you in times of need.

I really feel blessed. I feel that these friends are a sort of adopted family to me. My appointment with the doctor went alright and I will be able to have my treatment next week.

Yes I do have friends like that and it is so wonderful. So happy to hear that you were taken away to the beauty of nature and had a great time with your friends and lunch/dinner out. It was a lot nicer than spending the day alone and thinking too much.

I know. They couldn`t have taken me to a better place to relax and stop looking into myself but to the great mountains and the splendour of nature.

Glad you had a nice time. Sounds like something that would be nice to do. I could use a distraction like that even with no special reason needed.

I don't have any friends who do that, I keep in touch with one and only secondary school friend, moreover all my friends are online, some neighbours do say hello, but it is just hi and bye. I do hope you are well in health, going to mountain walk is good once in a while to refresh our mind, body and soul.

Dear friend,
I know that you feel ill but you must know that you are not the only one. And what we can do is to try to overcome our problems. We are friends here, but you have not read my posts where I tell about my health. On Tuesday I went to see my oncologist because I have cancer. And that was why I needed an outing on Sunday. We all need other people, but the onlly way we can have them is if we also listen to the other people`s problems instead of centering it all in ourselves. These friends have helped me many times, but I have been there for them too.

Well, I would love to visit the nature when I was in trouble sort things out, and I would love to see the lakeside, or mountainside, or whatever beautiful nature is out there set for us to see. Actually, I haven't gone out for while, and I would love to go hiking with my friends sometime. That is actually one good idea.

That trip to a place where there was no trace of civilization helped me a lot to forget my problems. We went on a van though as not all of us could hike anywhere.

yes, sometimes, our mind in full of disturbances, and we dont feel interested in anything , during such days , site seeing will definitely work, when i feel bored , i visit the beach , or the hills in our city, and we can really get rid of our loneliness, especially when we go with friends or family, a whole new life comes to us again. yes the picture is indeed very beautiful

For me that outing was very important, not only because of the beautiful sightseeing, but also because my friends know how to turn my thioughts into something positive.

First of all, it was a nice view, I missed those sceneries.
Well, it is really nice to have friends with us especially when we things are not so good. They give life to a dull moment. Of course, I have a number of friends who are like that. Hope they will be there for a long time.
Thanks@marguicha (215662)

I have several good friends and they have been very important for me this last year when my health has failed. I know that real friends are those that stay with you at the bad moments.

Glad you had a good Sunday,marguicha! It's always nice to have some one to spend time with for a while to get your mind off of things. My husband and I got a message from one of our sons saying him and his wife are going to be coming to see us this weekend. We are experiencing some hardships right now, but looking forward to their visit and having our children with us.

Children are a great hhelp when we are worried. I have also seen one of my daughter a couple of ties with my youngest granddaughter. While I play with her, I forget my problems.

It is great to get out and into nature when you have things on your mind and need to get a distraction. It is also great to have friends that will not just let you sit and worry about the things that you have on your mind but will actually take you out of the situation and help you to have a bad time even in the midst of a bad situation.

I have been blessed by life as I have several friends that are true friends in need. But these friends that took me out on Sunday are the kind that you feel they are closer than family.
