CELEBRATING FRIENDS

Today I celebrate the comfort and joy of being with friends and sharing the moments of happiness and sadness that we have together.  It is such a relief to be reminded that I am not alone and that I can relax and let myself receive.  I don’t have to work so hard to protect my heart from betrayal and hurt.  I know that I will be accepted and loved even though I have imperfections, limitations, and needs.  I can extend compassion and open arms to them without fearing rejection, misunderstanding or boundary invasion.   What a gift. 
I will offer the gentleness, understanding, and support that I have to offer and allow myself to be embraced in loving kindness.

  1. Friends are an important and vital part of life. I remember feeling alone as a child and have worked to build a strong circle of friends. My growth will come when I can openly accept their love and protection. Friends are a gift and the connections made that lead to friends being found in unexpected places have always amazed me. Stopping, actively listening, and caring brings connections to my life that turn into friendships. Deep in my heart I know that I never need to feel alone...so, I guess I also celebrate friendhips.
