Good Morning my lovelies.
People come through your life at the strangest time. We meet unexpectedly. It could be through social media, work, groups of friends, or even parties.
I don’t know about all of you, but no matter where I am or who I meet, I sit back and listen and watch how that person interacts within the group I’m in. Is it snobby of me for doing this? Maybe, I’ve said it many times. I’m uncomfortable with new connections. I’m an introvert so being with a group of people I’ve never met before makes my pulse race.
It’s all in the approach.
Let’s say someone comes up to you and starts talking. You don’t know that person yet feel like you have known this person all your life. Yet, you don’t, but there is a pull you cannot explain. You are so relaxed, and you’re talking about anything and laughing. It’s not an attraction but a connection with someone with the same goals. It feels wonderful. You feel blessed you have someone who understands you or has the same interest.
Friends.
I’ve had many friends throughout my life.
Some have stayed with me, and some have not.
Others have been in passing.
Those friends in passing, you cannot explain why you grew apart. Some I wish I still had them in my life as they did mean the world to me.
A few years back, I met someone through social media of Authors. We talked about poetry, about life, about writing. That person helps me write Jake and Mary’s manuscript. Once Jake and Mary had finished their HEA. I started a new manuscript with Mia and Liam, and my friend wrote me a poem for that specific manuscript which meant the world to me. He became a good part of my writing career these last couple of years, and I miss our talk. I miss asking him what he thinks. If I need to change my storyline and what my characters are missing. Especially the guy’s version of the story. I’ve never had that kind of relationship in writing with anyone. So he was a big part of my life, even if only for a few years.
All this is to say that embrace the moments you spend with people you connect with as you don’t know if they will be there for a lifetime or in passing. Appreciate what you learn from them and vice versa. Being a friend is having an open heart and open mind to listening.
So with that, say to your friends how much you appreciate them, say I love you if you genuinely do. Enjoy your friends and family today, as you don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Be kind, be positive.
Have a fantastic day.
These are my thoughts for the day.
Hugs
Brenda
