Sleep is good . . .

Sleep is good . . .

 But I'm not sleeping. I am making a post and surging (well, surfing, but surging kind of sounds cool) the net. Sunday I posted a painting because I was lazy.

 Tonight, I wanted to share a part of my heart. Lately I have been able to spend really good quality time with important people. It has been like a much needed rainstorm in a parched desert for me. It is easy to get busy and let relationships slacken while you are trying to get everything done. When this happens and the projects are done, the papers are written and I look around, there is no one to celebrate with (of course, there are a loyal few). I have pushed some away during my busyness. But this break has been a exactly what I need - a faithful few to love and show love.

  I know I am terrible at keeping friendships healthy, that is a weakness of mine. It is hard to make time and I don't want certain people to feel passed over if I spend more time with some than others. It is not because I don't want to tell friends I love them or spend time with them, it is simply a difficult thing for me to do. I don't know why! I was really good at it in high school, but as the years go by and people move away, etc. it gets a lot more difficult.

   Thanks to those who have stuck out friendships with me (and put up with my forgetting to call, etc.). I hope I can show you I care and that you are important. Merry Christmas in five days!
