Mending

I learned a lesson over the course of this past week that I would not ever like to re-learn. Yes, once is enough.

You know the movie "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days?". Well, I almost lost a friend in 10 days. I could write you a book on exactly how to do that too. It's not that hard time-wise but boy the emotional toll it takes is so not worth it. I do not recommend it for those who are thinking it may be fun.

I fell out of love with a WONDERFUL person and friend last week .. but today we kissed and made up. I'm back in love and oh what a wondrous feeling that brings. It's amazing when you have not-so-great-feelings towards someone, how 'heavy' that feels. Real heavy. That weight was lifted right off today.

I won't go into details because in the future when I read this snip-it of my blog ... unfortunately I will remember those details all too well.

Suffice it to say lack of communication and loads of assumptions played a huge role in how this all went down.

It's remarkable that word 'communication' also played a prodigious role in resolving the issue today. Whoever coined the phrase "communication is key" is brilliant. For it is so true. I am grateful for her willingness to listen to me ... to cry with me ... and to simply be the person I know her to be. That was enough.

Last week I lost a friend. Today we bonded the friendship back together. I will be so bold to say that I think it's even better now.

Bliss.
