Friendship

Well so much for going to bed early. My mind is filled with all kinds of things. Today I had my weigh in for my second group that I am in for weight loss. Its a local group of amazing women who I love dearly.(and Annie from a couple hours away who I ADORE!) I was thinking about how blessed I am to have amazing friends in my life. I have had a couple situtations however that have made me realize that I need to make a change in myself. I want to love everyone, good goal but not everyone will love me, and I have to be ok with that. Certain people are harder to get to know and no matter how much you try they may have ideas about you that are not realistic. It is hard to accept when someone who you are genuinely nice to and try to befriend, does not see you the same way. The truth is that we have to stay away from judgement as much as possible and be mature and realize that we are all trying to do our best. Mostly we need to accept that though we try our best to be friendly not everyone will accept that. I am so lucky to have so many friends who support and love me even when I am flakey and cancel plans or am "unavailable" for periods of time. A true friend loves you anyway. I am so happy I have so many of those kind of friends.
