With A Little Help From My Friends......
If you have paid any attention when I write there are a few subjects that are dear to me : the love of my life , my family , and my friends. I have been writing so much about the wedding , (which don't worry I will keep you updated) , but it is at happy stand still for awhile so its time to rant about something which I am so grateful for......my friends....or " soulmates " as I like to call them.
I feel silly at times because my friends , true friends, are as dear to me as family. In some ways they know me better than anyone else. My life has been a whirlwind the last 3 years, its been a wild ride and I couldn't of stayed on the bull without a few individuals. I really am the luckiest girl around.
Its no secret that I got the nickname " mama" honestly.....I LOVE to take care of people. If I wasn't a hair stylist I would be a therapist ....well I'd also be a party planner but thats another blog. I genuinely enjoy helping people navigate through problems and help them find their destination. The downside of this is I also seem to carry around their issues , learning to let God take care of them, let alone me has always been a struggle. Its so ridiculous that I think I can handle it....HELLO Laci....He created the universe I"m pretty sure He can carry the burden of their problems. One of the millions of analogies I use is that I often feel like I am constantly pouring out into others ...love , encouragement , support ..and occasionally I feel completely empy and drained. Now this is when normal people would take a break and rest but for some reason I think I can tackle 734 other things and I keep pushing forward till I have a breakdown. Its times like this when I am thankful for the few people in my world who actually know me and can read me like a book. The last few weeks or so I have been on "empty "......my love and my best friend both saw it a mile away. Like clockwork they both have been pouring back into me and I am so thankful. I'm not even sure they realize it but instinctively they know what to do.
Joining me grocery shopping , special dinners out so I don't have to cook , Starbucks gift cards ( because she knows I won't treat myself unless I have a gift card ) , forcing me to get my hair done because she knows I need it ....I could keep going but you get the point ...NO , not that I'm spoiled ...even though I SO am ..... the point is I couldn't make it without a little help from my friends.
