Thankful even though were apart.

Thankfully it is Friday. This week has gone by quite fast really. But I am missing people today. Last night I talked to McCall and there is a lot going on at home that I wish I could be there for. I talked to my friend Melissa who I feel so separated from by distance right now and wont see till Christmas. I wish my ATL girls were closer but at the same time I am so thankful for the fact that I actually met them! I am so lucky to have met such wonderful women through such a unique medium and truly know that we will be friends for a lifetime!

I miss my family. I miss my brother Chris and his kids. He has gone through some crazy life changes recently and I wish I was closer. I miss my brother John and my sister-n-law Rebecca. They are in Honduras, a whole world away, sigh. And of course I miss my parents.

I have friends going through some hard times right now, and I myself tend to get lonely during this time of year when I feel so separated from my friends and family. It makes me wonder why I am in Bham at all. But then I see that other people suffer through this too and although that doesn't make me feel better, I hate when people hurt, it does offer opportunity for us to bond closer and to be there for each other even more.

I am also thankful that I have a group of friends here. Thank you Bethany, Liz, Kerra and Bunny and Laura for being here.

So to my dear friends who are struggling, I love you and hang in there. I will kick ass when I need too! Just call me!


Oh and on a lighter note, OOTD:

Old Navy layering T

Peace,

  1. Caroline,

    Ive been reading for awhile and never commented (I guess that makes me a lurker)! I've been going through some hard times right now and sometimes wonder where I should be and why at times I feel so alone. This post really hit home and its nice to know that others have these feelings yet can stay optimistic. Thanks for that "something" that will get me through this tough Friday! I wish you and all your beautiful friends the best in dealing with your struggles.
