The Odds

She wanted to go to the seaside.
She did not have neither the money, the transport or the company to do so.
She thought of it often, dreamt of it always, drew in her notebook the beautiful beach before us. 
She even rehearsed the shhh shhh of the waves crashing on the yellow stone sand.

She had planned to see a friend for quite sometimes.
She called her friend.
The friend forgot about the appointment.

Friend: 'ouuuhh I completely forgot, what a fluke but please come. We are having an event on Friday, then we are going on Saturday to the beach. Please come. I'll book an hotel for us.
She:' (YES), yeah I'll come. I am a bit broke though, would it be ok?
Friend: Don't you worry about that, we'll have fun.

She is entertained, she goes to the beach and sleep in a nice hotel for not much.
What were the odds...

Time to listen

Sometimes our own perspective on life may get in the way of what we understand when others speaks. Pause, breathe and really listen. You may learn something. if you are too busy with your own thoughts, you will not even realise what was said. You will probably misinterpret some important signal. So what to do, Pause, breathe, ask further questions before sharing an informed answer based on fact and not your own imagination

Are we good friend?

A friend came to visit. She brought flowers and a card. Inside the card, she wrote that I was an amazing friend. To her, at least. It is normal to question yourself on the quality of your friendship and whether or not  you are a good friend to other people, are you doing enough to engage, support, celebrate others when they go through major transition? How much more can you do while racing through life, its responsibilities and distractions? A good tool to use for reflection is the theory of attachment to understand yourself and how your type of attachement impact on the quality of relationships. Have a look and let me know what you think?
