A few weeks ago, I was extremely grateful for the
opportunity to visit my best friends in California. Even though I was only in
the beautiful, sunny state for two nights, sometimes you need that time away to
explore life. I typically live the life of getting up early, driving the little
one to school, working, back to school, dinner on the table, and bed. I wake up
to repeat it all. What I was shown this weekend is irreplaceable. Friendship is a powerful tool, if used the
correct way.
I like to think that friends are there to let you learn more
about yourself and share ideas about finding the perfect balance. Life doesn’t always go how we imagine it. I
believe we all picture things in our minds as to the way things should be, yet
we feel even more let down when it doesn’t happen that way. I’ve been on a
journey of finding out about more what I want out of life. When I say that, Im
not creating an unrealistic image in my head of what it should be or comparing
it to others, yet being present in the moment and having gratitude for what I
have been given.
I was shown this weekend, its okay to let go. A little
disconnect from the world makes all the difference. I was with people I love
and appreciate the time I was able to share with them. There were so many
laughs, funny faces, and memories I’ll have for a lifetime. Although, I don’t
want to admit that it was a beyond perfect trip I was able to let go of worries
Id been holding onto about life. We all talked about the things that bother us.
We may have shed a tear or two over uncertainties that keep us at night.
A true friend will never judge. They are there to hold your
hand through the blissful and gloomy days. They care what you have to say
through keeping an open ear. They help you pick back up broken life pieces to
put them back in the right puzzle place. I see many girls go through too many
friends, either because they are under appreciative or they have a hard time
making the connection of what a true friend is. Don’t get me wrong, Ive had
friends that we drifted apart -maybe it wasn’t meant to be but when you have
true friends NEVER LET GO OF THEM.
