I had one of the most insightful conversations with one of my best friends this afternoon. I was very happy to see her. Albeit what brought us to see each other prematurely were appalling circumstances, we were relieved and at the same time happy to spend the day together. It felt surreal to see her and we just locked each other in a tight embrace. Listening to her totally shifted my perspective. Whatever I thought were important in my life just seemed trivial. I cringed when it came to mind the things I was wallowing about. How petty they were! I wouldn't even want to dare vocalize them as I'd surely sound silly and dense.
What matters to me:
1. my spiritual journey - He heals me, guides me, protects me, blesses me and it's indescribably amazing how He does it.
2. my family - No matter how grumpy and impatient I could be at times, they are my core group.
3. my true friends - I ran a mental list of who they are and it's just a small group. I don't mind if I can't fill a ballroom with them. A small table would do.
I have resolved to focus on the goodness that abounds my life. They're a lot. How silly of me to zero in on what no longer is relevant in my life be it people or things. It no longer matters what people say, think or do. If they're not part of my core group, I don't mind bidding them adieu. Life is too short to be blinded by what doesn't really count.
Thanks my dearest friend for sharing with me your life changing experience. It has changed me more than you'll ever know.
