i've heard people say that if you put out there what you need, it comes to you. generally i'm not very good about asking for what i want or what i need - believing i can do it all myself. i know i'm pretty capable of many things, but it gets tiring do it alone. and i'm finally learning that sometimes you need a little help, a little inspiration....a little guardian angel.
last week i wrote a blog about not being kirstie alley, about wanting to get back in shape and get healthy again. i received some funny responses and sincere emails, but the one that touched me the most was from someone i've spent some time with over the last 4 years. more time in the last year. we started as co-volunteers sharing secret opinions of what we worked on together. and shared many laughs along the way too. in the last year, it's begun to feel more like a supportive friendship.
we all have our ups and downs and life has thrown us both some major curve balls, but deep down we're both positive people, believing in and wanting to see the good in all. so the email i received from her outlined how she wanted to help and inspire me. i would be a total fool to say no. we got together today and before we met i was tired from a long week and not enough sleep. but after a 3 mile walk in the park where we covered every topic in the book, i felt awake.
wwcd: working on what else i need and figuring out how to ask
friendship is a deep well from which to draw.
