Later Today

Well. I didn’t intend to host a pity party over here earlier today, much less my own.  I do appreciate the kind words and cyber hugs I received from friends.  Thank you so much.  I know you have my back no matter what.  I think it is very important to cultivate and invest in these relationships. 

 

And that was more or less the point of the post yesterday.  Am I the kind of friend who has my friend’s back even when they are in the middle of messy but very real-life circumstances?  Or am I the surface-y girl who is so concerned about keeping my outward appearance neat and tidy that I am totally inhibited with going below the surface where the dirt and grime is all too real?

 

The circumstances in the post were more or less true, and, yes, it pretty much sucked.  However, I am so lucky and grateful to have more of the walk beside you through the valleys friends/family than I have of the other type.  Or maybe I just tend to ignore those types more and not really realize they are there?  I don’t know.

 

I was also speaking to myself in that post.  I am challenged almost daily in this whether it be in relating to one of my four daughters or in relating to a friend or acquaintance.  I know that because of experiencing the judgmental friendships I am more aware of being that way myself or picking up on it with others.  Granted not every.single.person in our life is going to be a close walk beside you friend; however, many would be willing if time and circumstances called for it.  I am specifically speaking of those who never go deeper than the cleaned up part of life.  That pretty much is irritating to me. But then.  That is just me.  I realize that. :)

 

Not sure if this is clarifying or more confusing. ??  Good night. I am off to hit the shower. Maybe I need a cold one?? :) 

 

Hava happy.
