Dream Team

I was walking to class and ran into three really good friends. All of us going in different directions...off to our next class and all of us soon to be late if we stopped to talk for long. But we could not help but come together. To stop and say hello and laugh at this amazing encounter. The sun was shinning and blue sky overhead. It was just a brief minute or two but I could not have been happier than I was in that moment. As I hurried off to my next class I could not help but smile to myself and think how lucky I am to have such great friends. Each of us all so unique and different in so many ways. I know form a distance we might look like an odd set of friends. But that's what makes life so great! We each have our own views and ideas on life that we can share with each other and help broaden each others views on the world. We have had many talks about life, love, and God. We get deep and are always real. Its good to have friends you feel comfortable enough to be 100% honest with, friends that you can let your true feelings and ideas flow.

I wrote the above a couple of weeks ago in my notebook during class. I probably should have been paying attention to the lecture or participating in the debate but I did not want to forget how I felt in that moment and I had to jot it down. I saw it in my notebook today and laughed...I was not feeling so positive on life today...

It has just been one of those days...I have been so tired and on the verge of getting sick. I just felt discouraged and depressed. I have so much to do and not enough time in the day to do it. Or even if I have the time the motivation just is not there. This weekend was a tough one...I was stressing out about random odds and ends, got in a little argument with a friend, had multiple friends bail on me at different times, and a friend use the "we need to talk" phrase.

Its funny how your perspective can change so quickly though. I went and had "the talk" with my friend this evening and we are totally good. We just needed to talk and get things out in the open and we are totally fine. I have let go of the stress and will take each day as it comes.

Looking at it now I can see how lucky I am again. My friend cared about me enough to say "we need to talk". It was because she cared about our friendship that we had that conversation at all. I also over looked the fact that I had some really great conversations with some friends this weekend as well. My friend Carly was visiting from Portland and we were able to do some catching up and we got into a deep talk about our struggles with life, people, faith, and God. I also talked with my friend Tiffany who is off in Hawaii this year. It always makes my day when I get to talk with her.

So again I guess again I am coming to the conclusion that I am so lucky and blessed to have such amazing friends. This blog will be my reminder of that...
