Hey all!
So, I just had dinner with 2 of my good friends here in Houston.
Here's a minor personality confession: It's hard for me to trust anybody or believe they will be there for me. And I feel like it's a lie and it IS a lie, I mean these women are beautiful and amazing and I am blessed to have them in my life. Of course, they'll be there for me. I do them a disservice in holding myself back. So, this is my confession.
In a matter of a few hours, we had a good time chatting, catching up, venting and enjoying our food. (Sushi!) and it was delicious.
The beautiful thing about friendships is that you've found another human being that you think is as near to perfection as you're ever going to get on this earth. I could never have hoped to be so blessed as a child and as an adult, I am beyond blessed with the warmth of true friendship and support from many. I hope I don't start crying!
I went in, my heart a bit battered and bruised because of stress and tensions I'd been trying to get over while in conflict with another friend. I vented my frustrations and hurts to them and with their wisdom and truth, they soothed my bruises and gave me the encouragement to do what needs to be done.
I think that's amazing, that as human beings, we can spend time with each other and in a matter of a few spoken sentences, we can build on and strengthen each other's lives. The power of friendship is nothing to be scoffed at or ridiculed. I have learned then to be grateful for my friends.
So for them, and for my other friends, besties and frenemies and everybody else who has added a word or touch of comfort and wisdom in a dark time and shifted from stranger to friend(past and future), I dedicate this post and the poem below. These words are not mine, they belong to A.A. Milne writing as Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh, but I believe these words speak of the depth of my gratitude and appreciation for my friends that I love but also, how I hope I could be to you.
I can safely say that in my life, I have been both Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin. Here's to you.
Much Love,
Del
