There are friends who seem to show up when you need them. Conversations with them consists of more than gossip or personal competition. These conversations are heart and soul felt exchanges where you know that the other person gets you and you get them. Such friendships are rare and precious. I learned the hard way not to expect more from a person than they are able to give. Each of us are finite, and we only stretch so far. Sometimes I over estimate people and sometimes I underestimate them. Interaction with other humans is an ever changing experience. I get it wrong, I get it right. Sometimes I completely miss the ball park and the boat. At other times I am right on target. I have always wished my accuracy was better, but it is what it is. Acceptance of self and others is a long life journey. Knowing the difference between what I need to accept in myself and others continues to be a mystery that I sometimes solve, more often I don't. Still, I keep at it. I encourage you to keep at it too.
