Thank You For Being A Friend

I had dinner with some new friends last night. After we ate (I slurged on Prime Rib), we sat there for 3 more hours just talking and having a good time. As I reflect on this, I realize how important relationships are to me. My makeup is all about the interconnectedness of family, friends, and myself. Making the time to spend time together is the key. It is so easy for me to get so busy with what I am doing that I don't make the time. Then I start to feel lonely, and depressed and don't realize why. So I am resolving (not a New Years' resolution) to make more time for relationships. Not only so, but I am going to seek out new relationships. To engage people I don't know in conversation. I did that this morning at Starbucks. It made both of us stop and appreciate the beautiful morning and today's endless possibilities. I am resolving to care about what others are going through. To be part of this wonderful place we call life.
