Bumps in the road! Yours and Mine...

So I have many friends that I consider life long and great friends. I don't talk to them often. I hardly ever talk on the phone and lets face it, life gets in the way. Lets talk about life. Yes the long journey of life. See Life is a long road we take. We've all heard that. Sometimes we forget though, life is full of things tht slow us down or even stop us from time to time. Like curves, sharp ones, wide ones. Then we have bumps. Some jar us more than others. We are luck if those bumps don't cause us a flat. Those take even longer to recover from. Sometimes its a straight away were you can let the top down and feel the wind blowing in your hair. Those are the good times. A part of life we hold dear in our hearts forever. But lets face it, too many of us have more curves, turns, bumps, and road construction on our road than sometimes we feel we can deal with. These are the times we need those life long friends most. Problem is, maybe they don't know....




Sure theres always facebook. After all its a way of life right. But many of us refrain from putting too much personal drama online an focus on the good and humorous. (not all of us obviouslly though). So if we keep contact on facebook maybe I still don't know that you are at one of those curves or bumps. And maybe you dont know what kind of bump I just endured. ANd it very well may be those bumps that are keeping us from reaching out and asking for help! Problem is by the time we are ready we are already so angry that the other friend wasnt there we don't see that maybe that isn't exactly their fault. Maybe they didnt know just how rough your bump was or sharp your curve. or vice versa. Maybe they could say the same about you. Life, is our worst enemy and our greatest blessing.



I guess the point of my ramblings today is that even though i may not see you daily I'll be there for you. Not just when we can let the wind blow in our hair but to help you change that flat and navigate that curve. If I'm not there when you need me, reach out. Honk the horn. I'll come a running. And I'll try hard to remember to do the same when I need company during that slow ride through road construction.
