Thought for the day

In the last few weeks I have been amazed by some of the people I know. Keep in mind that I don't mean that in positive way in all the time.

I am a true believer in the fact that if you give a person chance, they will surprise you. I have one person who agreed to do something that no one that knew him thought he would. I never doubted it. Of course there was an angle as to why he agreed to do it, which I expected but he agreed. I look at it as him finally doing something that isn't selfish and he is thinking about two other little people that he often forgets about anyway.

Then I have friends, that I thought would be friends of ours for a lifetime, and yet the last time we saw them... it was the strangest and most uncomfortable environment I have been in in many many years.

I understand people change. I know I have and maybe it is just that my expectations have changed, my husband and I and our children have gone through alot in the last year. We all have changed, for the better, we are all more greatful and successful in what we are doing.

Maybe that is what is causing the tension. You want your friends to be happy for you... but maybe when they are not happy it is hard to be happy for someone else.

I am a firm believer in accepting people for who and what they are. No one is perfect. That would make them boring.

I may not always be the greatest friend in the entire world, but no matter what has ever been going on in my life good or bad or I have always taken the time to celebrate the good things going on in my friends' lives.

Just a thought for today.
