The other night, a friend of ours asked me, "WHERE have you guys been?? We thought maybe you moved back to Utah, or something!" It had been almost a month since we had seen them, but it seemed that that month had zoomed right past us!!
It struck me then, that life can get so caught up in all the meaningless crap -- paying bills and doctors appointments and housekeeping -- that sometimes relationships suffer.
Then yesterday I was reading an article about being happy, and some ideas that help people be happy. One of them was "talk to a friend, socialize" and then another was "take time to laugh". For me, one doesn't happen without the other! I've got so many great friends and family that I call friends, that laughter is always involved in the socializing!
So, in spite of the second job, the doctors appointments, the physical therapy, the family drama, the dirty socks and the bills that have to be paid, I am resolving to do better!
I was on the phone with my cousin the other night, when I realized that she and I haven't had any quality time together for MORE than a year -- NOT ACCEPTABLE!!
And, I have been back in AZ, now, for more than 2 years! Dude, who said it was okay for time to fly by???? See what I mean - it can all get so overwhelming! So, I must get back to enjoying some part of every single day!
Any suggestions or reminders are welcome . . . just remember that you can win more friends with kindness, rather than sarcasm! :)
Oh, and I need to blog more!
