Friendship

July 22, 2021

Something that changes through the years is friendship. What it looked like as a kid, a teen, in adulthood, and in motherhood. It all has it's great parts. 

The friendships and needs for our bodies though change as we learn and grow. For example, friendship as a mother...some of the greatest moments of friendship are the ones where you are screaming like a banshee at your dogs while you are elbow deep in a toilet bowl and not realizing your neighbors are on the porch. Then the sweet neighbor, without judgement, offers to take your children to have a water balloon fight and gives you just a few minutes of peace to get some things done that you have been neglecting and that your over filled brain choose to do at the most inopportune moments. 

Then there is the friendship of your partner and man is this one a biggie. There are times when the people around you just KNOW what you need. Sometimes it is a hug, sometimes it is a cup of yummy coffee, sometimes it is a water balloon to the chest to make you laugh. 

The trick in this life is to just continue seeing these moments. They are small and mighty. Sometimes we get lost in expectations of the BIG moments that we forget to simply cherish the smaller moments. 

Fuck, I can't keep my brain focused, I have this training to do tomorrow and as much as I wanted to be 100 percent prepared, I realize that there is no way for me to be 100% and it sucks. But hey, that is life. I don't want to go to bed, but I know that I need to it is 1 am and my brain apparently can't slow down enough to focus on things. So many things to write...and so many ideas in my head. I know one day this may get easier, but dang this is hard.
