It takes a Village....

Friendship has been popping in out of my mind but these past few days I have had a wicked head cold. Some of you may know that my thoughts can get jumbled from time to time, without being sick, lol, lets hope you get the message that is trying to come out. Here it goes with fingers crossed and toes ;)

I think of friends as puzzle pieces that fit perfectly within each others lives.. We all need people around us that we can count on.  Each piece brings a certain quality that only they can bring. Each piece is unique making our lives complete.

The Shrink- We all need a counselor in our lives. They are the ones that will look at everything from every possible angle there is too look from. They will often give sound advice. They will be harsh when they have to be and show compassion when needed. They can give you a new perspective. The shoulder to cry on, hug or whatever is needed in the moment. This puzzle piece will keep it real.

The Comedian- Who doesn't benefit from a good deep belly laugh? Laughter is good for the soul for a reason. We all need someone who can make us laugh. This puzzle piece will keep it light.

The Shopper- I can not tell you how many times I have snapchatted or texted a pic while I am in the dressing room. These puzzle pieces I simply can not live without!!! They will bring you style!!

The Adventurer- What can I say? We all should push ourselves to our limits but sometimes we need a push to do so.  This puzzle piece can bring you to places you never knew you could go!!

The Braniac-  There are times in our lives when we need to know something but do not have the time to research it ourselves. We become smarter by being around them!!! This puzzle piece is definitely your, "Can I phone it in?"

The Go To Person- They can handle being all the above, all of your dark edges, the highs, the lows, and just get you the way no one else does. We all should have a piece like this one.

There are many, many more examples I can think of, but you get where I am going with this, right? Balance. Our circle of friends should bring us balance. Trust. Honesty. Love. Laughter. Brings Balance into our lives.

What do you bring to the circle? How is your puzzle piece shaped? Have you ever ended up friends with someone you never thought in a million years you would even like?

Never judge a book by it's cover. Never judge anyone by there behavior of the moment, it is just a moment. Never walk through life thinking you have it all or done it all. We are all constantly evolving and growing.

It has been stated that it takes a village to raise a child. The way I see it is, we are always someone's child from birth to death, the village will change as we age, but there still needs to be a Village.

Until next time,
It is what it is
