Was just thinking about nothing in particular, but about relationships in general and what has been refreshing to me lately. I, like many of you, value my relationships greatly, which in my life translates into being uneasy when things are perhaps not as good as they could be or have been. But today I feel pretty positive about many relationships, and I am just trying to sit and appreciate the moment where there is no real “drama” going on – that I know of anyway! It has been refreshing to me lately to talk to people who I know are invested in my life and our relationship. It has been refreshing to know that there are people out there who know me so well that I don’t have to explain myself or choose my words wisely…I can let them fall out without editing them first, and it is all ok. It has been refreshing to me when people have made time for me and have not made it seem like it was an inconvenience in their busy lives. It has been refreshing to consider the possibilities of new relationships. So, right at this moment, I feel peaceful about relationships in general, and that makes it a good moment. Now I must work on being a good friend to the people I am blessed with in my life. This is no easy task sometimes…I know I let people down, people let me down, we’re all human and we can’t avoid these things. But if we allow ourselves and others to be honest and truthful, I think the rough patches can only lead to growth and strength.
