Let’s Be Friends
Proverbs 17:17 “A friend loves at all times.” During the last several years I’ve renewed a lost friendship. The friendship is with myself. I’ve learned to listen to myself, to affirm my perceptions and emotions. I smile and even laugh at myself sometimes. I feel less threatened. When in the midst of my obsessive, workaholic behavior, I was sad and angry at the person I had become. I treated myself poorly. But now I genuinely want what is best for me. I’m learning to allow myself space to recuperate when I’m tired. When I blow it, I try to forgive myself. I realize that I’ll never be perfect. However, instead of depressing me, this fact causes me to want to grow. Sometimes in the past I wanted to get away from myself, but I no longer have that desire. I am committed to living the remainder of my days in love and peace with the person inside me. One day recently I wrote in my journal, “Good morning, Joan. Let’s be Forever Friends.” Lord, thank you that I no longer live in enmity with myself or you. 2008 Joan C. Webb
