It's Friday! TGIF

How Am I Trusting?

This week I am trusting that new friendships will develop.  Don't worry!  I'm not sitting home alone, sad and lonely and depressed because I'm here in NY without any friends.  I am missing friends back in MA terribly, and my rugby team a lot, but as time goes on, we are all moving in different directions.  There could be a time where I may not have any friends in MA.  But this all comes up because I had dinner this week with the CEO and the 2nd in Command for where I work.  They asked if I was making friends.  I said I had gone out a few times with people, but working 6 days a week long hours makes it tough.  "But I'm not worried, I know it'll happen," I said.

Well, a couple days later at this huge managers' meeting, the 2nd in Command apparently told EVERYONE that people should get to know me because I'm a great person and haven't met very many people yet.  Good intentions, but a little embarrassing.  I had a couple people come up to me after the meeting say, "Oh, we talked about you today at the meeting."  Awesome...  

Yes, I want to make a new group of friends.  But I know it'll happen.  I'm trusting that fact.

What Am I Grateful For? 

I am grateful for my friends that I have.  Even though they are so far away - MA, OH, NY, VT, HI, they are so supportive.  I love them dearly.  And my family too.  I called my Mom in a panic because I couldn't get my license because I don't have my SS card and to get that I need my birth certificate.  I was super annoyed and mad at myself, but my Mum helped me relax.  She said she would go get my birth certificate the next day, after she had she gotten done with working all night.  Luckily, things worked out so she didn't have too.  I love being able to call her up any time, happy, sad, frustrated, and just feeling better because I talked to her.   

How Am I Inspired?

I am inspired  by the change in weather.  It's weird, I know.  But I've never really watched the trees turn.  I guess it just reminds how much I love change.  

How Am I Practicing Faith?

Since I have come to NY, I have started meditating.  It's been wonderful.  After work I look forward to coming home to meditate.  After a long day of working, it just helps me unwind, and feel good with everything that happened during the day.  Some days meditation is better than others, but I have felt with my continual practice more peace with everything in life.  

Watch this picture.  I'm going to take one picture a week from the same spot so we can see the beautiful change that's taking place.
