Relationships

Is there anyone out there who can explain to me relationships? Not just male/female relationships (though I would LOVE to have an explanation on those), but relationships in general. You know. Relationships with relatives, with friends and yes, with the opposite sex.

I feel I have been very, VERY blessed this past year. Two people who mean so much to me are back in my life. Wait! That is simplistic and really doesn't convey my thoughts.

One person back in my life is really not "back". For we really had never known one another until a few months ago. In many ways I feel it is a miracle that we are in one another's life at all. It could have so easily never have happened. But happen it did!

There is another person who is back in my life. We had a falling out a few years ago, not the first, but I pray the last. We are so different yet quite similar. We had a great trip together to Montana in 2002. We have the same black humor and can talk and laugh for hours.

The male/female relationships are harder to figure out. Or is it depending on the people you are in the relationship with? Some people are open and vocal about everything. Conversations can flow like a waterfall. Thoughts and feelings are expressed without hesitation. Then you have the people who are sadly stunted in their ability to speak, to express thoughts and feelings.

The sad thing about people like this is that you are left wondering what is honestly going on in their heads and I believe you have a lack of trust that would not be there if the person could open up, no matter if you wanted to hear what they had to say or not.

Relationships! Some are grand with no "but" and some are exciting and fun with a "but". As in "but what are your REAL thoughts?"

Go figure. That is life I suppose. Enjoy the moment. Carpe diem!
