During the past few months I've realized how few friends I really have because I decided to let the word "friend" mean something more to me than in the past. I've also stopped trying to make excuses for people and thus feeling badly that I don't "measure up" to whatever deserved their time and attention because I, obviously, did not. Because of the change in my thinking I have, in essence, freed myself from feeling less-than-worthy and thinking that there was something lacking in me as a person. With this change of thought came a great calm and a fullness in my heart, and an even greater appreciation for the true friends and the family I have. I have a lot to be thankful for, and I can't think of a greater time to have come to this honest and amazing realization than around the holidays!
I suppose this isn't particularly "Science of the Mind" geared, but this has come into fruition due to my continuous 'studying' of spirituality. So, it seemed fitting ;-)
