“There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you well, pray for the ones who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.”
I read this a while back, and wanted to share it – but had to save it till after my daily “Life’s Lessons” ran their course. I’m constantly gathering tidbits, always jotting down thoughts (crazy and otherwise) and receiving helpful notes from friends who know I write this blog!
Thank you!
The title refers to who you would like to keep “close.” If your table is to be filled with those closest to you, who have helped you and supported you the most, who would they be? Admittedly, my table of 8 has experienced some major shifts over the years. They are today, not who I’d thought they would be.
Friends and family will surprise you, disappoint you, support you and drop you. It’s a rollercoaster ride and some times you get slung off. As I enter the “last third” of my life, I really want to be more careful who I trust and put my confidence in. I’m tired of being let down, I’m tired of surprises – I want to wake to every day refreshed and smiling.
As I contemplate those who are special in my life, I hope my table of 8 can be crowded with a few more chairs – we’ll see. Having just returned from a girls weekend retreat, I am reminded that we all look for that support in different ways. Some give it freely, some have to be asked for it. Should you have to ask for it? Things that seem so obvious to me, are not that focused on by others.
Life is forever a journey of discovery!
Who is sitting at your table of 8 today?
