Lack of moral fiber

2008-08-05T09:59:00.000-07:00

I am saddened today by the lack of moral fiber in people. A very nice thing has happened in our city for a very deserving family and the comments section of the local newspaper is flooded with negative comments. I'm speaking of the new Extreme Makeover house. You would think people would be 1) happy for the family and 2) happy that they chose our city over countless others. Personally I think it's a blessing and I hope that this event will get the ball rolling for lots of families that need help in the area. Maybe this one act of kindness will strike a cord in all of us to volunteer to help with a Habitat house or a local committee that gives back to the community. Instead of wasting all this energy on negativity and turning it into something positive.

Ok I'll get down from my soap box now...

Missing my girlfriends

2008-07-29T12:54:00.000-07:00

Lately I've been feeling down about some friendships that I have. Is it possible to know lots of people and yet feel like you don't have a single friend in the world? Maybe I'm overly sensitive and take things to heart too quickly. I'm reaching the point now that I'm tired of making so much of an effort and yet feeling that it's not well received nor is it returned. I try my best to juggle friendships and my relationship with my boyfriend so that no one feels neglected but am I just making more work for myself? Do my friends miss my company? That I'm not 100% sure of. Most recently I have tried to plan outings to spend time with friends and of those times I have been left disappointed by the lack of attendance. I am very thankful for the ones that have been there. I realize they have their own lives and they're busy so maybe I'm just being selfish...what do you think? Every girl needs a girlfriend...a close companion that they can call and unload the day's disappointments and vent about work, family and relationships. Or someone they can go grab a drink or go for some retail therapy. As much as my boyfriend is my best friend and I love him dearly he can never replace a good girlfriend.
