Talking it Out

The thing I love about my friends is that we can talk through things.  And come to some kind of place where we can both get what we need.  That is the case of my friend who is an emotional wreck because of....me.  Well, she has her own stuff that makes my stuff just throw her over the edge.  There was a time when I would have just quit talking to her about those things in my life.   But that would hurt her.  She would feel isolated.  Kept at a distance. And I don't want that.  Although, I speak to her about that option.  She wants to hear.  She's just....hurting.   And I don't want to make it worse.  Either by talking nor NOT talking.
But, my friends have taught me what 20 years of marriage has failed to have...we can come to agreements.  Understandings.  We can...communicate.  Our needs will be heard.  Our hearts cared for.
I love that.
grace to you.
