Me and some of my crazy friends from APU
(I'm the girl in the back with the freaky long fingers)
It's funny. I am so goal oriented. I am very interested in results. Because of this, I often allow relationships to become second priority. I often find myself turning down spending time with friends because I have an early call time the next day. I don't believe that this is the way that I should live.
Last night, while spending some much needed time with a friend, I fully came to the realization that this shouldn't happen anymore. Of course---I need to be responsible, know my limits, whatever. However, I need to cultivate those friendships around me that aren't necessarily automatic (automatic being husband and family, even those aren't even really 'automatic'--but you know what I mean). Friends are SOOOOO important to our well-being, our health, and our spirits.
So I guess this could be sort of a late New Years resolution for me: don't let my friends fall by the wayside. Make a point to spend time with them. This is life lived.
