Friendships Evolve

I decided not to send that letter.

After doing the exercise, I realized that I was trying to fix something that wasn't necessarily "broken."   Like people and cities, friendships evolve and the purpose of that note was to force an interaction that didn't disappear just merely changed.  After all, we are miles away, we've lost touch and it's okay to let it go.  But I'm glad I put my thoughts down to reflect and to review.

I was reminded that "friendships are supposed to be easy."   I make a lot of friends, but I feel like I lose them just as quickly especially this year.  Outside of convenience, people drift a part because of discomfort.  

My November sessions (2nd) with my therapist went well.  He said I made a lot of progress and strides that he was quite impressed with.  I took care of things, work them out...  He gave me a second book to read, "The Power of Now."  10 pages in and I'm rolling my eyes at how spiritual it is. But I need to push through it.   A lot of meditating and focusing on the present.

December is such a busy month.  321 Christmas Party, Family Christmas Party, Ignia Christmas party.  Gifts of cousins, gifts for coworkers, gifts for family.  Decorate, meet, gather, buy.  It's so overwhelming and it's only the second day.

I'm currently in Kauaii and Jimmy just woke up.  Two more days of vacation and then back to the usual grind!
