In the world of blogging, I have a friend (and yes, I would call her that even though we've never met) named Beth. I think I would even let her hug me even though if you've learned anything about me, you know I'm not the huggy type.
Anyway.
Beth's entry this morning is something worth repeating many times over. Some will like it; some may not. Some will agree; some might protest. But I think there's alot of truth in it. I remember a time many, many years ago when I lost a good friend. We were both pregnant at the same time and we had a lot of fun together. She wasn't really happy, though, in her marriage and would grumble often and loudly. At some point along the way I found myself grumbling often and loudly as well. One day I began to wonder why I was grumbling at all.
Time passed.
Babies were born.
Our friendship faded.
Her marriage didn't last while I worked on repairing some of the cracks my own grumbling had created during that brief period of time. Don't get me wrong; this isn't about broken marriages or marriages that last... I just think Beth's entry is a good reminder to all of us. Her thermostat/temperature analogy hits it right on the mark, at least in my opinion.
And with that, I'll shut up and let her speak.
I hope you all get as much from it as I did.
You'll probably want to hug her, too.

Isn't it strange how women love to gather and bash their men? And isn't is funny how one can so easily get caught up in that mess?
Thanks for the hugs and the link love, Angela.
I love how we can develop relationships with people, even on line, without meeting them in person.
Somehow our hearts still speak to each other.
Thanks, friend.
