I'm in a state of reflection and awe tonight at the amazing people God has led into my life. Definitely emotional as I sit back and think about the absolutely amazing friends I have in my life. It is so easy to take these people for granted, but I am reminded constantly about how truly blessed I am.
I am a very introverted person by nature. It takes a lot for me(maybe even a couple beers) for me to really carry on a conversation with a new person. Making friends hasn't always been so easy for me. Once that connection is there, it's amazing how your relationship with another person blossoms.
Being a momma(and a single one at that) makes it very difficult for me to find the time to see my friends as much as I want to. But my core group gets it. They don't get mad at me when I can't come see them.....they patiently wait until we can go on our next adventure. Not all my friends are parents either....I have several single friends that respect my time and motherhood.....and that love my children like their own.
Each friendship is so uniquely different....but what we both need. I have my 2am "ditch" friend, my 3am "I found out my SO is cheating on me and I can't sleep so let's go to Waffle House friend", my friends I call when I'm having relationship trouble or need advice, my mom/playdate friends, my very logical friends(who have talked me off a few ledges), my friend that texts me "Good Morning"(every single day...which means the world to me), and my friends I only see from time to time....but we pick right back up where we left off.
Being a single mom can be lonely....I won't lie. But each friend I have makes the loneliness easier and are so vital to my life. I know I always have someone there for me when I need them. With each season of life, friends come and go....and the ones that have stayed throug each season with me...you are amazing.
All of my friends care so much for my children as well. My children adore each and every one of my friends. They are included in plans....and we even go on trips with them sometimes. My children having these positive influences in their life is so important to me, and I am forever grateful for the impact my tribe has on my littles.
These people have helped mold me into the woman I am today....and I can not thank them enough. The imprint you all have made on my life is incredible and you will forever be my people. Thank you for all you do.....love ya'll!
