There is Nothing Like Friendship

Sometimes there is just nothing better than sitting around with good friends. Nothing like breaking bread with them.

A nice lesson along the same lines as friendship is the value of keeping the door open to people. And what I mean is that when someone is going through a tough patch and acting like a mean moron, don’t necessarily write them off. There are a few people in my life that I could easily have written off during their hard times, but by sticking by them and being nice in the face of rudeness and jerkdom, but still sticking up for oneself (and sometimes telling them that they are being a jerk), I still have them in my life. Their rough patch is past history and I still have a friendship that I cherish and enjoy laughs with them. It is almost like our relationship is better now. It is as though seeing someone at their worst makes it easier to be their friend. And there is a trust. And a deeper connection to those people.

Of course, there are some people that I have cut loose. That happens. Some people aren’t worth sticking by because they morph into a person you don’t want to be around or be associated with because they are being big jerk-offs with absolutely no morals. But that’s another story. I still don’t know what to do with them.

Okay, I just have to say this: I LOVE Meg Cabot’s blog. She is so funny and light hearted. I wonder what she is like in real life? And here, you gotta check this out. (Note in Feb `08, sorry that site seems to be gone, but they were microwaving different things in the microwave and you could watch them to see what would happen.) My hubby says I’m a total teenager for loving it, but he DID ask me for the URL. (Just so you know that I am not alone.)
