I know I promised to blog more frequently but, as usual, I always end up not having enough time to write a decent entry. Aside from the fact that I do not have an office job anymore (no computer to do illegal blogging during office hours), I am also too tired by the end of the day to do anything. I know, it sucks big time. It's not that I lead a very boring life, it's very interesting actually. I have a lot of stories to tell you guys about the kids and the fun things we learn and do everyday but I just don't have energy to blog. Well, for now at least.
So right this moment, while I wait for the Husband (who's very busy preparing for a presentation) to bring me to the grocery to have our water refilled, I have some little free time to squeeze an entry or two.
Oh the joys of free time ;) So anyway, lately I have been thinking a lot about friendships. I'm not a social butterfly and I can't see myself being close to everyone and just anyone. I only have a number of good friends but I am proud to say that they are definitely true friends. It doesn't matter if we see each other in 5 or 10 years, we're still the same people and when we get together, it's like we've never even been apart. And I love that about real friends and REAL FRIENDSHIP. They're effortless and very much second nature. You don't have to put out a lot of effort just to be updated with your friend's life as if being in the know will make you a better friend to him or her. I know a lot of people who have friends for the wrong reasons and I can't help but be disappointed when I see it happening. I'm not perfect but I always try to look at the good side of every person I come across. If I don't get along with someone then I don't get along with that someone. I don't have to tell everyone else NOT to talk to her or be her friend. We are all different. Who am I to hate that person when he or she is not even doing anything to hurt me? To me the key to a happy life is to be nice :) I don't want to waste any energy being angry or being plastic.
So I think I'm being a little bit too preachy now... Sorry, my thoughts are just everywhere. I can't help it. But bottom line is, I just really want to express my appreciation, love and gratefulness to my true friends. The people who know me well enough, accept me as me without condition and understand that I cannot be there 24/7 to be that "perfect" friend.
I love how I can say goodbye to my best friend, who now lives thousands of miles away, feeling like I can just call her name out the window and see her look across from our neighbor's window.
