All relationships require work, but I was thinking today how my closest friendships are easy. That doesn’t mean we aren’t committed to each other or that we don’t put effort into making time to spend together. We also use the awesome technology available to us to keep in constant touch. We can disagree about things but the exchange of opposite perspectives adds another layer to the tapestry that is our friendship. We may be different in personality or temperament but we compliment each other like peanut butter and jelly, which just so happens to be something we DO agree on as a favorite. We are there for each other when one of us is in crisis. We don’t wait to be asked, we show up and we stay.
Life is hard. I am so very blessed and grateful that my friendships are easy. If given the chance, I wouldn’t want it the other way around.
