Day 128...A Reminder of Why Putting Forth An Effort Into Relationships Are Important

Tonight was such a great night well spent.  We spent time with some very special friends whom we haven't seen in a long time.  This isn't because we live far away, we are only 30 minutes apart, but we let the busyness and lack of convenience get in the way of hanging out.  I thought as I got older that relationships would be easier, less drama, less dishonesty, and more of people being real, honest, and more accepting of who you are as a person.  Sadly, this isn't the case at all, infact it has gotten worse.  

There are very few people who I honestly can say the latter of my above list, and it is sad.  I am so thankful for tonight, it was a great reminder for me that making time for people is by far worth more than anything else.  When you make time for people, you are doing life together, which in fact helps you get through the hard times easier, and makes life more fun to share the joyous occasions.  Thankful for good friends, thankful for this reminder tonight that putting the effort into people is worth every second, thankful when you can pick right up where you left off with good friends.  God is good!
