My best friend Hayley said it’s been far too long since I’ve added a post to my blog so I decided to write one, and I decided to make it about the value of friendship.
Whilst we sometimes think we are completely independent, self-sufficient individuals it is actually the relationships we have in our lives that make us completely fulfilled. After all what is success and achievement if we cannot share the success and achievement with someone we love.
Equally, how can the bad times, the failures, the set-backs be bearable or turned into learning experiences without the support and encouragement of those same people.
As we get older, we find that we have less time for everything, less time for work, less time for family, less time to get things done generally. Were never actually sure how this has happened because the days, weeks and months contain the same number of hours but it somehow seems to be true for everyone I know.
This often means our friendship group has been diminished somewhat… and sometimes people worry this is a negative thing… but in actual fact it’s a positive. What is happening is that we are becoming more discerning about who we spend our time with.
Because time is so valuable it’s important that we spend time only with those who share our values, believe in us, share positive energy and bring us joy. So if you find your circle of friends getting smaller don’t despair but rejoice in the fact that those that you still have are those that are the most precious.
Hayley’s emails brighten my day, her text messages checking in on me bring a smile to my face and our catch ups are full of laughter, fun and hugs. Our conversations enrich my life and the time we spend together is treasured time; time that I can’t get enough of; time that I look forward to and cherish.
So let today be a day of counting the blessings we have that are our friends. To all my friends, I am grateful for the blessing that is your friendship.
To Ronit, Nadia and Gen as well, thank you for your love and support recently as I’ve needed it and as always you have been there.
My deepest love to you all.
Thank you universe for giving us friends!
