Meaningful Relationships!

Relationships take effort, people are worth fighting for and communication can solve almost anything.  Usually what you put forth in a relationship is what you will get back.  You should never be the only one fighting or trying in a relationship/friendship, in order for it to be lasting and meaningful there needs to be commitment and effort on both sides.  

I have many relationships with people that are daily and interactive on both parts, as well as I have relationships with many that are distant.  Some of my dearest friends and I will go weeks without talking, yet pick up right where we left off when we do connect.........I love these people!!!  

The thing I have found after so many years....... I have no time for those that want to stay in my life with "weather" conversations.  You know the type I'm talking about, you either get an email, a text or a call that basically says the same thing over and over, the type that could be sent to anyone in the world and would mean the same thing.  While I'll be the first to say I let life get in my way, I get lazy and my effort seems to be lacking at times in my relationships, but that is the best time for communication.  Usually the time I reach out to someone I may have been neglecting and engage in a meaningful, heartfelt, gratitude-induced explanation of what has been happening in my life.  People who are important to me know it, they also know that no matter how much time goes by before we talk, they are forever in my heart.  

So if there is a special someone out there, a friend, a lover, a significant other, etc. be sure to do your part in the relationship.  Cut the fluff and the stupid shit, people see right through that, make that next call, text, email etc come from the heart, include yourself in their life!!  Do your part!!
