sometimes it's the destination... at times- the journey... learning to savour everything one day at a time!

CONTINUUM
Am back
after a hiatus..
And what
better way than by commemorating friendship day!
And to my girl friends, who encouraged me to write again! Thank You!
It was so
easy to be friends when we were kids! Even
as kids, the friendship bands, the small gifts we shared, the notes we wrote,
were all so important. We learn that Friendship is not a state of mind, it’s
an act. It’s something you do.
Today, we
have forgotten how to act and think it’s all in the mind! We take for granted the relationship so
closely and carefully built and easily destroy it with our carelessness.
Sometimes
you need a friend and other times , it’s the other way around. Balance, Respect
and Trust -the three key factors that make or break the relationship.
It’s not
about being an aye-sayer and being around only during the good times! It’s also
about the arguments, the tears, the late night discussions, the sharing, the
caring, the loving through it all and sometimes walking out only to come back
with arms wide open!
When I came
to this city I call home today, in 2005, I had lost all contacts with old
friends and my life was filled with sadness and despair.
Old college
friends came to my side, stayed there, helped fix the broken me and got me
moving again. They moved on, like angels to help others in need.
Thank You!
A new life,
a new beginning, a new company and new friends.
They taught
me to trust again, smile, find interests and rekindled passion.
Some stayed,
some moved on, but many are just a phone call away.
Thank You.
During life’s
journey, chance meetings, brought in more people, love, hope and laughter!
They made me
feel good about myself even on days I did not like myself!
Thank You!
There are
special friends, who become more than friends, they become your conscience,
your soul, your anchor and spirit!
They are a
part of me.
We grow together,
age together. And change is inevitable. Physically we change, and so do we emotionally
and intellectually. The bond that connected us as friends, matures at a deeper level with the passing of
time!
As with any
journey, who you travel with can be more important than your destination.
Thank You!
“A true friend is someone who thinks that
you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.”
Specially to
the friend who taught me what it was to give and live without expecting,
who shows up when I least expect, who doesn’t know how to say “No” and stops
and listens even when I complain and who knows what I need even when I don’t.
For being there
even when you are not around!
Thank You!
Take a deep
breath and accept some changes in life. People move on. If you find yourself
forcing a person to change the way you want them to be, STOP! This relationship
is about being yourself and being accepted and accepting each other! Always look
for a reciprocal relationship.
To me, “
friend” is a very personal relationship.
I
have my moments, I have my failings and I am human!
But I value and love
the friends who came into my life and touched my soul! I cherish the laughter
and sunshine they bring into my days. I respect them for the time they spend to listen to
me and advise me when I need it most. I trust them with my thoughts and fears.
Balance is
what Bruno Mars sings so well in his song!
I love it
when a song describes exactly how I’m feeling
