I read something today that went a little something like this, "I'm here. I'll take care of whatever you might miss. I'll be a second set of eyes and hands for you."
I think we all in our lives have that friend or friends that you just couldn't imagine your life without. If you're like me you might even ask yourself, Who would I be with you in my life? Life is about growing and getting wiser and learning from past mistakes or misfortunes. In many of my cases there's been a friend there to help along the way. I can recall a moment when at the height of the recession when I was laid off one of my dear friends decided to make sure that I didn't feel like I had to go without. Those are the people who matter most. I think of all my friends that's the one friend who I bicker with the most, but I think we challenge each other to hold one another accountable. To make sure that the both of us are putting our best foot forward. After so many years of friendship I think you just know exactly what to say in order to get someone back on keeping an eye on the prize and as the quote above mentioned what you might miss that friend will be there to see it for you.
As I embark on an anniversary tomorrow, one month in the Big Apple, I reflect on the journey here and those friends who through all my lofty ideas are there to walk along with me and when I might fall to carry me through. No one said the road would be easy but it's a hell of a lot easier when you have friends there to help you along the way.
Until next time,
peaceWORLD
