When you’re 18, you think have the world figured out. When you’re 28, you realize you didn’t know anything when you were 18, but now know you understand life and all of its challenges. At 34, I realize I had no idea what I was thinking at 18 or 28. I still don’t understand my lot in life. I know who I am. I’m happy to at least have that.
I was just looking at my blog and realized in just three days, I’ll have been blogging for two years. One of my first few posts reminded me of something. I wrote, I make friends wherever I go. Coming back to Cleveland, I’ve made so many good friends. I’m blessed for having many longtime friendships. I’m also blessed to have new friends. One person I’ve met just got offered a job of a lifetime. She’s taking it but it involves a move. I hope we will be friends forever because she’s just quickly become one of my most favorite people. I’ve been fortunate to meet so many quality people in my life. They far outweigh the shabby people who’ve passed through my life. I know there are people who I can call at any time of the day and they’ll listen to what I have to say. Of course, there are also my friends who’ll have a lot to say back! I value that too!
I know the feeling of bittersweetness. Right now, I have a content smile on my face. God has blessed me with unequaled support and surrounded me with loyal friends.
Well said my friend!
And btw, I was going to bash you for teasing my RSS feed with a BNL title but after reading your post, I thought it best to leave it alone… 🙂
