Friends

June 19, 2017: I met another sweet gal today who is like me! It's absolutely amazing to have female friends or acquaintances who have been through similar events in their life just to have someone to relate to. I often times feel like I have developed skills to cope with my own traumatic past better than others have, or maybe I just clam everything up inside and just don't tell people about what is wrong for fear of judgement or the lack of understanding on their part. Maybe I just move on and keep fighting because I have a family that cares about what I make of myself. I'm so very grateful that I have people who do care. Someone once told me that we don't need friends in life. I have to very strongly disagree with that statement. We need friends that we can relate with to talk about our struggles of every day life. Maybe a kind word of encouragement from our friends is what we need to lift us out of the slumps. Someone to make us laugh so hard, that we shed tears of joy! Sometimes we need a couple of little kids to slow us down and to make us see the world differently and to be grateful for the little things in life.
Yesterday was Father's Day, and I barely got to see my own father due to work,  however I called him not because it was the thing to do, but because I miss him and my mother because I've been working so much. Be grateful for the little things in life, for friends, family who cares, and sometimes even a co-worker. I have a great family and I have a few amazing friends that I'd be lost if I didn't have them as a friend! Be grateful for meeting someone like you! I am! You know who you are! And to my current friends, I love all of you!
