Take matters into your own hands.
Most problems that occur stem from mis-communications.
This week, gradually, it appears as if my stars are re-aligning.
I've not spoken or even texted with my best friend in 12 days.
I could not take it anymore.
And sure enough, we needed to talk things through.
I hadn't a clue why he had not called or texted.
His words, "I thought you were mad when you left so I wanted to give you your space."
Well, I was angry and disappointed--but as I told him, best friends should be able to rise above and work through anything.
I've known this friend 13.5 years --not long in the scheme of how old I am --but the fact that we have stayed in touch, on a very regular basis and still see each other 2 or 3 times a year is more than I've kept in touch with anyone else, especially those who have moved away.
I take that as a sign that we are life-long friends no matter what happens.
I have revamped our friendship parameters because of recent actions, but that does not mean the friendship has to end. In fact, hurdles often make friendships stronger.
In recent posts, I've mentioned how this week I'm on the bandwagon of the band Train--listening non-stop...and their CD "Save me, San Francisco" rocks!
The CD, a great reflection of my life and a number of current relationships. Every single song depicts of scene from my life.
I'd like to think 'Parachute' or 'This Ain't Goodbye' or even 'Brick by Brick' mirror our friendship.
Plus I had to tell him I was going to wear my Evan Longoria t-shirt to work! I promised him I would!
