This is where I come... to breathe... to find calm amidst the storm that I call living... to process the challenges thrown my way...

Follow along. Maybe you'll find a fresh breeze, or a calm spring day, or a challenge for yourself.

I'm there for you...

I'm nearing the end of a very difficult week.  Despite being close to engagement with my boyfriend, things came to a screeching halt.  Last weekend I kissed him goodbye for the very last time.

One of the disappointments of this week has been hearing (time and again) "I'm here for you if you need anything" and finding my friends missing when I call.  My best friend lives more than 3000 miles away.  We've talked on the phone several times throughout the week.  Another close friend was on a family vacation.  Other friends that I would consider close have seemed to go running.

This leaves me reflecting on friendships... Six months ago I posted a blog expressing my thankfulness for these two close friends.  But even the closest of friends cannot always be there for you.  Its bittersweet.
