Yep. I know there's a typo in there.
It's curious to me. I've always been a pretty good speller. I have a deep love for words and their meanings and and how they morph from the root to other words. I pride myself on spelling.
What strikes me as odd is that I've repeated that typo at least three times in the last 48 hours. Is my subconscious trying to tell me something? I mean, I KNOW how to spell the word re-la-tion-ships. But when I noticed what I kept doing repeatedly, I paused.
One thing I really love about Karen is if she is your friend, she is your real friend. There's no covering things and you always know where you stand and you don't have to guess how she feels about something. She just tells you. Graciously. (Well, mostly graciously. Unless we are in The Pool of Truth. Then all bets are off.) But...What if all my re-lationships got real? What if they really were REAL-ationships? Then where would we be? What if we were friends with people, not for what they could do for us, not for company politics or ladder climbing or buddying up to me to sell me something, but friends because we were better people for having known each other? What if we had REALationships because we made each other think and just got along and knew how to laugh together?
What if we just got REAL?
Yours, considering what makes a friendship a REALationship,
Melissa

I love the challenge of deepening my relationships. I treasure my current "realationships" but I have to work hard to keep them that way with methods of communications being mostly surfaced these days.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Rachel. It's something that doesn't just happen. It's intentional. Just like the aforementioned office politics/ladder climbing/what can I get from someone thinking is intentional. It all starts with motive... :)
