Single Parents Town Blog

I stumbled across a song tonight that I have always loved and that truly captured what I was feeling and in listening to the words of the song “That’s What Friends Are For” by Dionne Warwick I felt compelled to write about those people in our lives that leave footprints on our souls – our best friends. I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for those people in my life that I am honored to have as friends and quite honestly don’t know what I would do without. We all have friends, we all need friends and to some, we are that friend that will never be forgotten.

There are many things in life to be thankful for and I have found myself thanking God for many things in past weeks but one of the things I have been most grateful for are my friends. Life is good and life can be tough and recently I was reminded how true friends are present in love and support regardless of the good and bad.

Have you ever found yourself looking in the mirror and wondered who was staring back at you? Have you looked hard at your own reflection and struggled to find anything familiar feeling as if you were meeting a stranger for the first time? I have and it is a scary and lonely place to be. We all crave familiarity and especially when it comes to ourselves, our lives and the people and things we are closest too. So what happens when you lose yourself and suddenly everything seems foreign and the face staring back at you is no one you recognize at all?

First of all, don’t panic for I can promise you that you are not the first one to find yourself here and you won’t be the last. In all honesty I have been here more than once and I would venture to say that most people have been lost and questioned who they are at least once along the way.
