as much as i love my "alone" time...i have to say...that i am most happiest when spending time with friends & family...this last weekend was full of out of town guests and fun...read: lots of laughs and long talks...
it actually started up thursday nite when i met up with high school friends...dinner and reminiscing about our pranks and such while in school...updates on family...careers...and life...
then i had my girlfriend visit from nashville...although unfortunately her visit was planned rather quickly due to a death in the family...she stayed the weekend...and spent some time with me =) awwww...gotta love that! we ended up meeting up with another girlfriend...and just enjoyed laughing and catching up on our lives...
waking up at 4:30am to take her to the airport was harsh...i admit...but it meant a little more "talk" time with her...which i always welcome...so as i scooted her off to the airport...another good friend was coming into town...
good - bye...hello...
another evening of friends getting together...laughing and catching up...
in all three instances...these are friends that have been in my life for many many years...many times i have heard comments from people as to how i have remained friends for so long with people from my past...or that it is a rarity...
comments like that seem strange to me at times...the thing is...like any relationship...it takes work...it takes time...it takes a bit of sacrifice...of making it work...of investing the time into keeping in touch...have you heard the saying..."you get what you put into it"? why would a friendship be any different?
i cherish the friends that i have been blessed with...but i also (and they do the same) make a conscious effort to keep in touch...to stay in tune with their lives...relationships don't last when they are not nurtured...period...
i woke up this monday morning...very full of joy and love in my heart...friends do that...
it is a new month...a new day...who do you need to call and re-connect with? do it!
and on a side note...19 more days till spring!
