I love getting to a new place in a relationship. Even if that means you have to walk through something hard. Really hard. Most of the time... that's when you KNOW what your relationship is made of ... IF you get to that other side.
Some friendships come and go. People are in your life for a time - and then they are not. Then there are the friends that you fight for. Because they are a part of you. Not just a part of your life - but a part of you. They are TRULY the friends that will be for good. For life. It's not just the fluffy things that you say. But it's truth!
I just had a first "non fight" but hurtful time with a dear friend of mine. I honestly didn't ever think we would be in the spot we were today - we are so similar and are strength and encouragement for each other. It was a little scary not knowing how we would handle it. But as we talked - we agreed that our friendship is more important than anything that we could face professionally and that we would work at shrinking the elephant now in the room.
We just got off the phone and everything is good. I am SO EXCITED for this next year! We will be doing a triatholon together... we both have got a lot of changes in life and a lot of growth that has been happening! So this isn't going to stop that! Nice to get to the other side - and know that a friendship is for REAL - not just circumstantial! That those connections are true and real!
2009 - I'm excited to see what I'm made of... and what the relationships I invest in are made of!
