While I was running this morning I was thinking about my friends and family. I was thinking about all the changes that have happend in the recent past, and how thankful I am for those around me. So after my jog with the dog, I came home to check my blog site, and I found an old post that was sitting in DRAFT. I totally forgot about this post, I think I started it like 6 months ago.. Anyway, I thought that it was fitting for my thoughts I had this AM, so now I'm finally publishing it........ Enjoy.
Do you have atleast 1 person to talk to about anything in your life? Do you have that one person that you can 'vent' to about good and bad things that are jumbled up in your heart and mind? A person that will listen with everything they have and not judge you for it? If you don't have someone like that, GET ONE! I know its harder than just going to the store to buy the right size of friend, but they are truly important. There is a reason why God created 2 people in the begining. A man and a woman for obvious reasons, but he also created 2 people for companionship. It is truly a life saver that when used at the right moment can save you from your most dire circumstances. I believe in the power of prayer. I also believe in the power of friendship.
I have been pulled out of some incredible moments by my friends. I am truly a blessed woman to be surrounded by the people I am. And funny as it sounds, each one of my friends and family serve a purpose. Some I know I can go to for just a good laugh, others I know I can lean on in times of unjudgemental struggle. And others well, they just comfort me.
All of them are important to me, but when it comes to things like Loosing weight and a fork in lifes road. Honesty and a swift kick in the rear is the kind of friend we all need. I have a wonderful girlfriend who, even though she is telling me like it is, says it in such a posotive way that I don't even realize shes just slapped me in the face. Sometimes its hard to hear what we need to hear like " that shirt may be a little to tight." or " I think you have been hanging out with the wrong kind of people." or even " are you sure the choices your making are really bringing you closer to God and your family?" Some of those hurt a little. but think of it as a good hard work out. dont you always feel better and rejuvinated after a butt kicking workout? we may not want to do it, and it may kill us in the process but you always are thankful that you endured it in the end.
