Moving and Friendships: thoughts

I was sitting (yes sitting- if you are a life long friend or nuclear family member of mine you'll understand) in the shower today thinking about friendship and the effect moving has on it.  I was thinking this:

The greatest thing(s) about moving all the time is-

1- you can be whomever you want to be as you throw yourself out there to make new friends

2- you really learn who you are as you experiment with new aspects of "youness"

3- you get "reduced" to your highest common denominator of self by those who know you through your moves (ie family, friends from home, friends that remain close after you leave,...)

4- (the one I think is THE BEST) you get to watch your children evolve socially and personally as they too throw themselves out to the lion of new experiences

So truthfully , all this means is that, while by being in a constant state of motion our children may be termed "gypsies" by some of you, I see our lack of latency as a guarantee that the core four of us here are only becoming better with each move, honing in on those traits that make us shine as individual interdependent beings in this crazy world!  And as a wife and a mom, that really excites me!
