Happy New Year!
Jason and I went to Denver to visit Piglet--a great trip, full of laughter and adventures. It was my first "adult" trip, this is a secret confession; but i've always dreamt of going on a trip with my "manfriend" and staying in a hotel and visiting friends or a new place. I'm 23 years old, very in love, and very happy with the direction my life is headed. I'm counting my blessings and focusing inward to work on the things that I want to leave behind in 2009.
I think it is hard for us to admit our faults; in certain circumstances, people serve as a mirror that reflects our deficiencies. This will sound so strange, but sometimes I see a glimpse of myself in the little kids at work...unfortunately, this is usually when they are being bossy and wanting everyone to conform to what they would like. In lecturing them (and being lectured by my own mother) it has come to my attention that I think that I know best...that I my way is the best way...ew, right?
Secondly, I realize that I am not as patient as I could be with other people--I expect perfection from those around me..particularly in friendship. I need to sigh, let it go, and move on. I have learned this year that some friendships are passing; people change, and not always for the best. I think I am ready to move forward, but in doing so I feel a twang of guilt. I don't feel that friendship should always be about one person...I think it is a genuine interest in the happenings of another and their well being...not an ear for your superficial problems. I just can't believe that is the way to sustain a real friendship. I'm learning as I go...and as I let go.
P.S: My goal of this Spring is to get my spinning instructor certification....an exciting decision :)
