Appreciation

Ya know,

All of the people surrounding me have been talking about regret for things left unsaid. Either they are talking about lost loved ones or people of their past that they may never see again. I notice, the more something is on your mind, the more your surroundings hint at the solution.

My friend Janae recently lost a friend who was dear to her. Almost right after, she told me about a game she started playing. The point of the game is to talk to people as if you will never see them again...COMPLETE HONESTY...As I have said in earlier posts, I have a crush on someone. He had no idea until a week or two ago. I just told him, and he rejected the offer but we are still friends...and closer friends at that...so I'm pretty happy that didn't go sour :)

I also took her idea to a new level and i started writing all of my friends letters. So far, most of my friends are hard to write to, because there is nothing left unsaid between us. Either way I'm still on that journey and it is interesting to see what i will say about it. Through this little exercise I'm rekindling my appreciation for everyone in my life. Even the assholes that threaten my peace are unknowingly teaching me how to keep a positive focus on my life!
