Note to self: Listen to my friends

I really thought I had it together.  One door is almost closed and the next door is beginning to open.   The other day I experienced a big slap in the face. It turns out that all is not well in paradise.   How can this be? I have worked so hard these past few years to unlearn some of the most unbecoming traits I picked up as a kid.  On the relationship/being a spouse front I posses less baggage now then I did 7, 9, or even 10 years ago. So I have some things really together and other things not so together.

I have to say I have some of the best friends in the world. Friends that care so much about me and know me so well that they are able to bring to light things that I have hidden from myself. Things I have buried down so deep that I don’t see them. It’s crazy to think some things are sitting right there in plain sight and I am so blind. How is that possible?  I hate getting slapped in the face or kicked in the rear at the moment by my friends, but in the end I really appreciate.   I bet if I followed my friend’s counsel I’d stop falling into so many holes.  Note to self “Heed my close friends advice, they know more then I do.”
