Thankfully....me

 "A true friend is one who thinks you’re a good egg even though you’re slightly cracked."

And thank goodness for those friends who have helped crack my shell along the way! If there is one thing I have learned in my 27, almost 28 years (as it gets so graciously pointed out almost every time our accounting class meets), it's that no one, that's right, no one is perfect. Well, there is 1 person, but it's not you and it's not me- it's God. I don't try to be perfect- I have enough on me as it is! And believe me when I say that I don't need that stress. I am just thankful for the people that I have in my life who accept and love me for who I am and for who I am trying to be- a good wife, a good mom, a good daughter, and a hard worker at everything that I try to do- whether it's work, school, etc. I've come to realize that there are some things that are just more important than walking right behind my child, picking up every single toy as he drops it. Good grief- if I did that, I'd never get anything done!

As you grow up and get older, you learn a LOT about who you are and who your friends are. You have disagreements that may cause you not to speak to them. And you may lose touch after a while. But, I don't think that means that they don't know how much  you care about them, or that they don't remember the good times you shared. People come into our lives for a reason, and I believe that they may leave it for a reason, too. Whether it be that you've outgrown one another, or that you just had to move on for whatever reason. But they were in your life for a particular purpose. Maybe to help you learn something about yourself, or to demonstrate a particular skill, or maybe to help lead you in the right direction. People change, and we are forced to move on from that point in our lives. I just hope that those who I have grown distant to know that I am and always will be here when and if they ever need me.
