From my Passion Planner last week. I have been praying – meditating on this all week.
When the kids were little, our concentration on friends were those with children of similar ages and interests. As adults, those interests have changed. My work has changed…David’s work has changed. He has the time to be more involved with the local community theater. We have met some incredible people along this path. I am so very grateful for the exposure to so many cultures and groups.
I miss my Christian involvement, and have guilt about not being involved with church. However, I feel as though I no longer belong there. Again, it is about growth and change, and it isn’t all bad.
I like the people I/we that are surround us. I love my besties, and miss them terribly when we can’t spend time together. I love our friend groups, and they are most definitely a diverse group of people.
Need to remember that I should be a good person to be around, to encourage others to be better or bring them some amount of joy. I also need to remind myself that it is okay to let some of them go, especially when they bring me down.
Thoughts?
Blessings.
You’re right. You need to surround yourself with people that bring you up, not down. I’m reduced spending time with certain people because the negativity is draining. We choose who we spend time with!
