One of Life's True Wonders

For those who have been around awhile, this entry may be more clear.

These past few weeks (actually, longer than that, its been years, but its starting to surface more than it ever has...), I have not played out my life in my personal favour. For me it starts with survival; making life happen financially, career, children.....top of the list stuff! After that me....the problem was, and is, more than was, is the available time for me. I burnt myself out and didn't realize how far gone I was until I came out of it. It took nearly a month before I had energy, before the care for myself returned, before clarity sank in.

During this time, my mind began to mislead me and take me in directions which was truly not in my best interest. It was not until I met and spoke with a true friend. When I speak of true friend, I don't mean the one you've necessarily known all your live, or the one who has been your neighbour forever or the one that you hang out with day in and day out, to me a lot of those friends can still be acquaintances. The true friend that I'm talking about is the one that you can sit with and have a truly constructive relationship. The friend that can tell you the truth, the one who you trust, the one who will listen, the one who will always be there for you, the never ending caring and love.

The friend I refer to was there for me and has always been there for me, for as long as I have known this person. To me, finding this true friend, has been one of my lives true wonders.
