Feeling all-around 'yukky' today. It's been the good friends around me who are keeping me going and lifting my spirit when I cannot lift my own. I was not myself when I snapped at a couple of people yesterday afternoon, having a bad Monday. It upset me that I took out my anger on them and I felt the urgent need to apologize to both of them. What wonderful hearts of friends. They are so forgiving and wonderful that they understood completely after a talk of the details.
May they be forgiven for anything today just as they have forgiven me.
Take a minute to appreciate your friends today. This was indeed a reminder of how much we all need each other, during good and bad.

New Frontiers
A friend and co-worker has changed jobs and moved out of the local area today. Now's the time for all of us impacted, to reflect on our time together. When people come into our lives then leave suddenly or in a shorter time than expected, we feel a sense of loss.
That's when we reflect on the reasons for that relationship, the good things that arose from it, and lessons learned of ourselves and others.
For my friend, this is a time of a New Frontier. After a separation, life torn apart, she found strength to move forward and is onward to a successful new adventure. Whatever lies ahead, she is now on a new path. Excitement, fear and happiness bundled into one.
She, I and our circle of acquaintences reflected on all that we learned from each other: How to be a friend, handling workplace drama and gossip, medical collaboration, theories discussed and pondered. Ideas and laughter. We reviewed all those things that made us friends and then it made it even worse to part when we realized what we had in each other.
So for you today: don't take for granted those relationships around you, no matter how insignificant you think they are. They are a significant part of you when it influences your life.
Let's help each other to love our acquaintances, friends, relatives and close loved-ones.
We'll miss you friend. You know who you are. It was great to know you.
