A New Leaf....

Tonight I am in somewhat of a pensive. I am sitting here at the computer realizing just how blessed I am to have such a great husband, a wonderful family, and the best friends in the world. So why do I feel so damn empty? I have the best group of girlfriends that anyone could hope for....yet somehow we talk about each other. (Gossip)! And I don't like that. These girls are supposed to be my greatest confidantes and most valiant fans, and in return, I should be there most avid ally and encourage them in each and every one of their endeavors. Wishing them nothing but success and happiness. So why don't we do that? Why do we find it necessary, almost essential to talk about each other? What good comes from that? We hurt each other, we hurt ourselves, and we damage relationships. Sometimes forever. I need these girls in my life. They enrich my spirit and heal my heart. I'm not saying that it will be easy, but I am going to give my most valiant effort to stop the gossip and the rumors. It begins with me. This could take years and tears....but as my life continues to unfold, it is these girls that I want my story to be enveloped with. Side by side, friend to friend, year to year.
