Friendship

Hello Everyone!

It's been a difficult couple of weeks for me since the surgery and all I can say is thank God for good friends. You know, the kind that are understanding and supportive. There are always those who call because they feel obligated and those who ask how you are but don't really listen to what you're saying. So it's always really nice to talk to someone who really cares.

Yesterday, I had a long conversation with one of these wonderful friends. Not only does she truly care about my health and what I've been going through but she is truly concerned about the effect it's had on me mentally and emotionally. We talked about trying to stay positive and making changes that have been difficult but necessary. She gave me such encouragement about my decision to pursue a new career and was truly impressed with my dedication to completing my studies despite my pain and discomfort. She even told me that I inspired her to continue her education! At times when you're feeling down and think that things are never going to change and you're unsure about what you're doing, it's nice to feel understood and supported and encouraged.

So I'm feeling better mentally, if not physically, and from now on I'm going to concentrate on the things that make me happy.

Make today a pretty day!
