Good Company

Life's like a novel with the end ripped out.

- Rascal Flatts

This week I got myself a small group. I should've done this months ago. Why? Because I know it is immeasurably good for my soul to meet with a group of women. I want company. This week there were tears. So many tears. There were cleansing tears, tears of grief, and hopeful tears as kind words were spoken to me.

Tears ran down my cheek as I listened to my friends' stories. And there was a lot of laughter. It was the kind of laughter that comes when I can breathe and be myself. It was the kind of group where I could say what I was really thinking. It was intimate and personal, mingled with the essential quality of not taking ourselves too seriously. It buoyed me up and was healing. It makes me want to say to the world. . .

Don't Do It Alone - Whatever It Is You Are Doing.

Life Is Infinitely Better Together. I Know. Trust Me.

I want for you what I want for me. So find yourself some good company - a spiritual life group, support group, happy hour group, or posse. Do whatever it takes to find the kind of care and support you need. It might take work. This group didn't happen to me; I had to ask and invite. Some people said no, but I didn't do it alone. I created the group with Mindy. The bible says 2 are better than 1, and I tend to agree. It also says a chord of 3 strands is not easily broken. Thankfully, I have Mindy, Jana & Colleen.

No road is long with good company.
