Good Friends!

Lately I have been feeling rather blue. A lot of things going great in my life, just not the ones I really care about. I have missed my closest friends, been a little homesick I guess.
And today I found out that one of my friends is getting married. Great news and bad news that I won't be able to be there.
Of all my friends she has the most extraordinary personality. Most of my other friends never understood her nor understood our friendship... I like to say that she is an acquired taste... it takes time to get her... but there is noone more down to earth than her.... and I don't know wny other person who has perfected the art of making lemonade... (if god gived you lemons).
Today I was honest with her and kind of crashed her party with my bad mood. She is a strong believer (always has) of prayer and the concept of the universe conspiring for you. But she says that if I want my life to change I have to really truly want it... she gave me homework to work on it... I am passing the piece of advice along...

1. Think hard and be honest... now... numbr the things you really want to change.
2. Be honest with yourself... really honest... your answers will lead the way.
3. Choose to change with all your heart and from the bottom of your heart.
4. Be humble... ask God for the power to change but don't forget those who also need God's help.
5. Put yourself first but be careful not to be selfish.
6. Plan a vacation (this is my favorite)...

And I think that kind of sums it up... I am starting today...
what about you?
