Making Time for a Relationship is Best!

Thoughts, feelings and emotions that hopefully provoke the purest of minds...Capturing thoughts through written words is like capturing pictures on film or digital camera.

Sometimes in our busy lives the really important things can be forgotten. Other people, their habits and their needs may even feel annoying while we are pursuing our material needs.

We may feel our relationships lack something. We are not as happy as we originally planned and wanted to be with the people in our lives. We may stand there, wondering what happened to our relationships.

When did our relationships become so burdensome to us? Where did the joy and happiness go? What happened to us being happy together?

If all people suddenly disappeared we would understand that to be really happy - we need other people.

Being alone can be so sweet at times, and is certainly even necessary. But if there really was no one else around, we would begin to miss the company of others in no time. And just as it is with any other important things: We need to work on being happy together.

Every relationship gives back what we give into it. And I am sure deep within we all want our relationships to be nurturing and happy.

We need a simple plan. Happy together - that´s the name of the game. We need to look at our relationships like they were plants in a garden. Each plant needs watering, care, weeding, sunshine and yes - rain too.

We need to realize that relationships are often neglected because of our own choices - we choose how we want spend our time and while we are living those other plans, a phone call from a friend may feel like an interruption. We feel annoyed even. "Why does she have to call just now?"

In our hurry we may forget how very important other people are to us - and we to them.

We all face hardships in our lives and when this happens, we sure appreciate those people who care about us and open their arms to hold us when the need arises.

As my father used to tell me; ‘many people want to ride the car with you; but how many people want to ride an oxcart with you when the car breaks down?’..

You know who those people are? They are our family. They are our friends. Make time for them during the holidays...
