Re-charge and re-boot

Sunday, March 25, 2012

I got back yesterday from a week long girlfriend vacation. These are quite different than when one goes on a family vacation of course. There are more books that get read, more quiet walks, more laughs and a lot of good memories shared. There is just something about being with old friends that remind you of who you are, who you want to be thought of and where you stand as a friend. Now I can't say this journey had anything to do with weight loss but I give a big high five to those who go on vacation and stay the course. This journey is about seeing yourself through the eyes of those who have known you the longest and will be there when the times get really rough. I can't say I will always agree with the choices my friends make or the food they like, and I can't stand, or even the shows they watch which I just can't see why they like them. It's about just being together, being different but being totally accepting and accepted.
If you have a long time friend, or just someone who makes you feel good about you...tell them. It is part of this life journey that makes your living your best self everything.

    It sounds great. I always appreciate people who love diversity. I am the same. My friends don't need to be carbon copies of me.

    Oh how special these times must be for you! What a great idea! Friendships can take such a hit over time if we don't make time for them. I can see how such a thing can re-energize and re-Spark you!
